A new decade begins with 2021, and in this year, Thang Long - Hanoi will celebrate its 1011th anniversary. Like a capital that is both modern but still imbued with traditional culture, Vietnam's music scene has also witnessed the intersection between traditional and contemporary music over the past decades.
The 1011 - 2021 music night at L'Espace stage will depict a space where poetry and music become in harmony, as if to recreate a traditional way of creating music in Vietnamese poetry from the Ly - Tran dynasties. In traditional dances combined with the accompaniment of musical instruments and contemporary sounds of Vietnamese music, traditional music performances mixed with instrumental solos will bring different levels of emotions. Memories of a thousand-year-old Thang Long culture will be recreated through the harmony between verses from the Ly - Tran dynasties and contemporary Vietnamese music works.
