On the morning of September 11, Nhan Dan Newspaper held a ceremony to announce the band that will participate in the Good Morning Vietnam project for the second year. This is an annual event that not only aims to spread the world 's top music to Vietnam but also has profound humanitarian value because the ticket sales are used for charity purposes.
The organizers said that all ticket sales from the program will be donated to support people affected by storm number 3.
Mr. Le Quoc Minh, Member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association , Head of the Program Steering Committee said: " Good Morning Vietnam , organized by Nhan Dan Newspaper in coordination with IB Group, will return for the second time in early October 2024 with Bond - the world's best string quartet that visited Vietnam in 2015 and 2016.
However, this is the first time the four talented girls have come to the public in a meaningful event to contribute to charity activities and promote Vietnamese tourism.
Bond Live In Vietnam is an affirmation of Nhan Dan Newspaper's commitment to continue bringing world-class music to music lovers in the country, through professionally organized programs; at the same time, contributing to spreading Vietnamese cultural values on familiar melodies to friends around the world.
The success of the Kenny G Live In Vietnam program has affirmed the right direction of Nhan Dan Newspaper and we believe that Bond Live In Vietnam as well as future programs will be warmly received by the public nationwide," added Mr. Le Quoc Minh.
Mr. Nguyen Thuy Duong - Program Production Director shared: “As a unit with experience in bringing many international music legends to Vietnam, IB Group is proud to continue to contribute to the Good Morning Vietnam project with the participation of the legendary Bond quartet. This is the first time Bond has organized a private concert in Vietnam and more specifically, this is also the group's largest concert in our country with an international standard stage and audience.”
The organizers said that after Kenny G performed in Vietnam in November 2023, the process of inviting Bond to Vietnam was immediately implemented. "The criteria of the Good Morning Vietnam music series is to invite instrumental artists, Bond meets this criterion and matches the group's schedule in the global show and can perform in October.
Over the past few days, we have always been thinking about the flood-hit areas. Although the country has floods, the economy still has to develop. We want to use music to connect love and decided to use all the ticket sales to support the charity fund to support people affected by flood No. 3, how to let music spread and connect everyone's love," Mr. Duong expressed.
Bond Live In Vietnam will introduce 20 works, some of which have been renewed to make them more attractive. "I affirm that this is one of the few concerts with the largest investment in scale and the largest number of participants in the world of Bond. We are very happy that Bond has come and made a difference since the band performed from 2001 until now," said Mr. Duong.
The organizers kept the entire list of Bond songs to be performed in Vietnam a secret to surprise the audience. Mr. Le Quoc Minh revealed that Victory will definitely be included in this list. Just like Kenny G, the organizers will make a music video promoting famous landscapes in Vietnam with Bond performing. However, the filming location will be somewhere other than Hanoi. The organizers said that the group did not have much time, so the next day, when the show ended, they only had a few hours to shoot the music video and then return to England. Currently, which music song will be chosen for the music video is still a secret.
Bond Live In Vietnam takes place at 8pm on October 5, 2024 at the My Dinh National Convention Center, promising to be a night of music with many emotions on the stage of the Capital. The audience will be immersed in a luxurious, world-class musical space that is also intimate and full of nostalgia.
Bond is a female musical group consisting of members: Tania Davis (violin), Eos Counsell (violin), Elspeth Hanson (viola) and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello). The string quartet from London (England) is famous worldwide for its musical style that blends classical and modern, creating extremely special music. BOND's musical style has been compared to famous violinist Vanessa-Mae, when they combine classical, rock, pop, Latin, folk, jazz, electro with a bit of Indian and Western music styles...
Active since 2000, for the past 24 years, the 4 members of Bond have maintained a youthful, modern performance style and maintained the title of the most successful string quartet in the history of world music. Bond is a rare international quartet with a large fan base around the world as well as in Vietnam thanks to its cheerful, easy-to-listen music and extremely engaging performance style. To date, Bond has sold more than 5 million albums worldwide and is the most successful string quartet in the history of world music. After more than 2 decades, Bond still has a huge fan base around the world with concerts always packed with audiences.
The group's songs Shine, Victory, Hungarian, Explosive, Summer ... have become favorite melodies around the world. In 2015 and 2016, Bond came to Vietnam but performed in a limited space. Therefore, although this is the third time coming to Vietnam, this is the first time the public has enjoyed the wonderful melodies and admired Bond's style on the Hanoi stage.
