(Photo courtesy of the HCM City Light Music Centre) By Thu Anh A long-term art project offering folk music albums and performances has been launched as part of HCM City’s efforts to introduce Vietnamese traditional arts and culture to young people. The project’s first period offers three albums featuring folk music originating from villagers in the northern, central and southern regions. The albums will be staged by talented artists of the HCM City Music Conservatory and Hà Nội Music Conservatory, and leading art troupes. Each album will feature 10 musical pieces selected by veteran cultural researchers and musicians. Musical instruments such as the tranh (Vietnamese zither), sáo (flute), bầu (Vietnamese monochord) and nguyệt (two-stringed moon-shaped lute) will be played. Talks about folk music and its development during various periods will also be included. A live show, called Rồng Vàng (Golden Dragon) Concert, featuring folk songs and musical pieces, will be organised in HCM City. The singers and dancers will perform with support of a symphony orchestra and folk music bands. The albums and the concert will be distributed on digital music, podcast and video streaming services such as Itunes and Spotify. Music composer-producer Võ Thiện Thanh, the project creator, in co-operation with the HCM City Department of Culture and Sports, has worked to organise the concert in January, 2021. … Read full this story
