Two large-scale chamber music concerts will be held at the Hoan Kiem Theater in Hanoi on October 2, and at the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House on October 4.

The program will include one of the original quartets by the opera composer Louis Spohr, who worked for many years in the state of Hesse; as well as the sextet by the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, written for six instruments including two horns and a string quartet; and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's work for an octet, consisting of four violins, two violas and two cellos.

What is special about this event is that both the Vietnamese Government and the state of Hesse jointly sponsored the costs for the above concerts, including significant support from Vietnam Airlines.

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra (hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt), founded in 1929, is one of the first radio symphony orchestras in Germany, with a history of more than 95 years, successfully overcoming many challenges to become a leading modern symphony orchestra.

Renowned for its excellent brass section, powerful strings and dynamic playing culture, the orchestra of the German public radio (Hessischer Rundfunk) in the state of Hesse, together with Music Director Alain Altinoglu, offers audiences not only excellent music but also interesting and diverse works. With innovative concert formats, successful digital and CD releases worldwide, as well as a regular presence in important music centers in Europe and Asia, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra affirms its prominent position in the world of European symphonic music and enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide.
