The Bond girls often wear gorgeous costumes when performing, so seeing them wearing Ao Dai to play live music will definitely be an interesting experience for the capital's audience.
On social media platforms, Bond posted a poster of the show at the National Convention Center, Hanoi, Vietnam on October 5 and announced that all ticket sales will be donated to Support for victims of Typhoon Yagi.
It is rare for international music groups to perform and the profits are used for such noble charitable purposes, unless it is within the framework of the "Good Morning Vietnam" program series initiated by Nhan Dan Newspaper and IB Group Vietnam.
"Vietnamese people are very warm and friendly"
If last year, in the first organization, only a part of the ticket sales revenue of the program "Kenny G Live in Vietnam" was used for charity activities, this year the Organizing Committee decided to spend all the ticket sales revenue of the show "Bond Live in Vietnam" to support the people in the North affected by the pandemic. storm number 3 just passed. This is a rare occasion that an international artist's show is held in Vietnam not for commercial purposes but for the community.
From England, the 4 beautiful members of the group also made a short clip to greet the Vietnamese audience: “Hi! We are Bond. Come see us perform at the National Convention Center in Hanoi on October 5. See you there. We love you."
As planned, the group will meet with Vietnamese media on October 4 - 1 day before the performance to share about their world's largest concert in Hanoi.
The most successful string quartet of all time has performed twice in Vietnam, but this is their first show aimed at a mass audience. Eight years since their last performance in Vietnam, the group still has deep impressions. Member Eos Counsell (violin) shared: "We really enjoyed our time in Vietnam. I think besides the scenery and food that I like most in the world, the most profound impression was from the beautiful people and language. We found everyone very warm and friendly and we really look forward to coming back."
Tania Davis (violin) shares more about the special moments or memories she always remembers about Vietnam from her two previous tours. "I love the vibrancy of Vietnam, the friendliness of the people and of course the amazing food! We have performed in Vietnam a few times before and it is great to perform in front of such a warm and enthusiastic audience. It really makes the performances special for us. On this trip, we will definitely visit a beautiful place in Vietnam that we are all really looking forward to experiencing as it is a World famous place and looks so beautiful. I would love to come to Vietnam for a vacation and travel around to experience the country even more".
Elspeth Hanson (viola) said the group had had wonderful experiences in previous visits to Vietnam, so this time Bond just hopes to continue to have the same feelings. "We expect respect from the people, fun from the audience as well as great culture and not to forget the delicious food. We are very lucky to be able to see a little more because we are going to Hanoi." Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello) said that after the official performance on October 5 in Hanoi, she will definitely have to eat some Vietnamese food because "I really like Pho and banh mi". Gay-Yee Westerhoff added that she also really wants to explore the natural wonders of Vietnam on this trip.
Bond will wear Ao Dai to perform in Vietnam
In particular, what fans could not have expected in Bond's show in Hanoi this time was that the group would wear Vietnamese costumes on stage - a rare thing for artists and bands with global influence when performing in a show that is not within the scope of a diplomatic event.
"We are honored to be asked to wear Vietnamese costumes because they are very elegant and beautiful. We hope to be able to perform in them but need our arms and shoulders to be comfortable to play the music," said Eos Counsell.
Tania Davis added: "We were so happy to have our costumes made! Vietnamese women look so stylish in their costumes so we really looked forward to performing in them."
Although the group has not shared specifics, it can be confirmed that Bond will appear on stage in ao dai. Known for his modern stage costumes, seeing Bond perform live music in a modest Vietnamese ao dai will certainly be an interesting experience for thousands of audiences on the capital's stage.
It can be seen that this is a great initiative of the Organizing Committee of “Bond Live in Vietnam” when proposing to make Ao Dai for the members of the performing group. Not only is it a bridge to bring the world's top music to domestic audiences, but the Organizing Committee of “Good Morning Vietnam” also wants to connect international artists with local culture to spread the image of Vietnam to the world through music, as the group's name implies.
The renowned string quartet BOND will come to Vietnam to perform on the evening of October 5 at the National Convention Center, Hanoi, in the program “BOND Live in Vietnam” organized by Nhan Dan Newspaper in collaboration with IB Group Vietnam. The event is part of the international music project for the community “Good Morning Vietnam”, all ticket sales will be donated to support people affected by storm No. 3.
