Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra to perform "Lalo Stravinsky" concert

This is a program taking place in the plan of performing art programs directed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to 12 theaters under the Ministry, to raise funds and support people in the northern provinces and cities that suffered heavy damage caused by storms and floods.

Director of the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra, Meritorious Artist Trinh Tung Linh, said: "Vietnam has had to go through many difficulties, from the Covid-19 pandemic, economic impacts and now natural disasters and floods, but the spirit of solidarity and sharing is always evident. Charitable activities, "helping each other" are carried out at many times, becoming a fine tradition in the character of the Vietnamese people. Therefore, responding to the call of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front; implementing the direction of the Party Committee, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also promote the tradition of "mutual love", "a piece when hungry is worth a package when full" of the Vietnamese people, we also want to use our professional work to propagate and spread this spirit to our audience".

Accordingly, the Vietnam Symphony Orchestra will perform the concert "Lalo - Stravinsky" at the Hanoi Opera House on the evening of September 17.

Sharing about the content of the program, Meritorious Artist Trinh Tung Linh said: "Like other concerts, we will perform classical and classic concert pieces. However, in this concert, we will incorporate a Vietnamese piece to perform at the opening of the program, which is the piece "Return to Motherland" by Musician Nguyen Van Thuong. This is a special piece of music because of its strong national sound, with a sad, poignant lyrical color that goes deep into the Vietnamese soul. Through the work, the Vietnam Symphony Orchestra wishes to send our deepest condolences to the families of the soldiers and victims of the recent storm No. 3."

The work "Return to the Motherland" has been adapted from the original cello and piano version into many versions for different instruments, and there is a rarely performed version for symphony orchestra.

It is known that the artists are currently focusing on practicing to have a complete program in both art and charity activities. "We artists are very proud to contribute our efforts, using art to share the pain with our compatriots. I hope that the program will be a great success and achieve many good results" - Meritorious Artist Trinh Tung Linh expressed.

The Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra will donate part of the ticket sales from the "Lalo - Stravinsky" concert to support localities and people affected by storm No.
