These are two special music nights staged to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory.
Bui Cong Duy will perform the symphony poem for violin and orchestra - Poeme, Op. 25, written by Ernest Chausson in 1896. Chausson wrote this work during his vacation in Florence, Italy. The work has been chosen by many violinists to be recorded and performed and is also widely recognized by fans as Chausson's most famous and beloved work. Poeme Op. 25 is a concerto for violin.
In the Dien Bien Phu Concert, the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra will perform for the first time the Symphony of Rendezvous by French-Vietnamese composer Nguyen Thien Dao. He was born in Hanoi in 1940 but came to France in 1953 and attended the Paris National Conservatory of Music from 1963.
Nguyen Thien Dao considered himself “the heir of two civilizations: the East and the West”. He tried to create a musical composition by building music based on micro-time intervals, sound colors, rhythmic structures and time lengths. He hoped to be considered the author of a kind of music “lyrical and passionate of a heroic character”. Nguyen Thien Dao has just completed the Tien Du Symphony for the National Orchestra and the Rendezvous Symphony (Golden History) for the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra.
