This is the second time LSO has performed in Vietnam in the Vietnam Airlines Classic – Hanoi Concert program. The 2017 program left the artists with a special impression of the love of music of the Hanoi audience. Therefore, in this performance, the orchestra gave special favor to the capital audience with more performances than last year, starting with the Tien Quan Ca and then 7 classic works of the world. The works are all copyrighted so that the concert can be broadcast live on domestic and foreign websites, bringing LSO's music to a wide audience in Vietnam and internationally.
At the event, the organizers will broadcast the concert live on 400-inch LED screens located on Dinh Tien Hoang Street and Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square. At the same time, the organizers will give out free drinks to attendees on the walking street.
Considered one of the world's leading symphony orchestras, LSO's performance in Hanoi will contribute to further promoting to international friends the image of Vietnam, its people, and the civilized capital Hanoi, rich in national identity, loving the arts and always integrating with the world's cultural quintessence.
