Tania Davis (violin) adds: “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 play in front of such a passionate audience. It really makes the performances special for us. The four members of the band Bond hope to have many interesting experiences while vacationing in Vietnam.

I really want to come to Vietnam to relax and travel around to experience this country more." Member Elspeth Hanson (viola) said that the group had magical experiences from previous visits to Vietnam, so on this return. This time, the members of Bond just hope to continue to have the same feeling as before. "We are very lucky to be able to see a little more because we are going to Hanoi," she shared. Meanwhile, Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello) said that after the official performance on October 5 in Hanoi, she will definitely enjoy some Vietnamese food because she "really loves pho and banh mi". 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 program that is not within the scope of a diplomatic event. "We are honored to wear Vietnamese costumes because they are very elegant and beautiful. We hope to be able to perform in those costumes but need our arms and shoulders to be comfortable to play music" - Eos Counsell said. Famous for her sexy dresses on stage, Bond performing live music in modest Vietnamese ao dai will certainly be an interesting experience for thousands of audiences on the capital stage. Not only is it a bridge to bring world-class music to domestic audiences, but the organizers of "Good Morning Vietnam" also want to connect international artists with local culture to spread the image of Vietnam to the world through music, as the group's name implies. Combining classical music with electronic instruments, mixing with many different musical genres has made Bond's music unique. With more than 5 million records sold worldwide, Bond still holds the title of the world's best-selling string quartet. More than 2 decades after its debut, Bond is still loyal to its sexy and fiery performance style. The famous 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.
