Cultural dialogue through contemporary art

On the occasion of Europe Day (9/5), the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Vietnam introduces to the public a special art performance called “CHÂM” Show. This is an artistic journey of cultural storytelling through music and visuals, where the European spirit meets Vietnamese identity in a multidimensional dialogue between tradition and creativity.

According to the EU Delegation to Vietnam, following the imprint of the contemporary ballet “Do” in 2024, “CHAM” Show opens up a space of artistic intersection – where music and culture meet in depth, diversity and dialogue. Staged with many layers of intention from classic symphonies to lyrical songs and vibrant European rock, the music in “CHAM” Show becomes the main stream, combined with contemporary visual art to lead the audience into stories of rich Vietnamese culture.

EU Ambassador to Vietnam Julien Guerrier shared: “In a world full of changes, art can be the most sustainable connection, overcoming barriers of language, history or differences. “CHAM” Show 2025 is a living symbol of cultural exchange, where Vietnamese stories are told in the language of European art, and European values ​​find a new voice through the heartbeat of Vietnam. We are proud to introduce to Vietnamese audiences the subtle nuances of European music, while honoring the talent and creativity of Vietnamese artists - who are affirming their position in the global art scene. I believe that “CHAM” Show will be a memorable milestone in the journey of cultural connection between the European Union and Vietnam".

Inspired by the length of the country – from the colorful North, the gentle Central to the vibrant South – "CHÂM" Show recreates the beauty of Vietnamese culture through meticulously created stage images, where light, movement and visual structures tell stories that are deeply marked by the three regions. Combined with Western music performed by Vietnamese artists, the program evokes a subtle blend between East and West, between classical depth and contemporary sensibility – creating a space where materials resonate and open up an artistic experience that is both consistent and multi-layered.

"CHAM" Show will feature Vietnamese artists and singers, including: Dao To Loan, Pham Anh Khoa, Hong Duong, Tri Minh, dancer - Meritorious Artist Phan Luong, flute artist Duy Minh and many other artists. The music directors of "CHAM" Show are musicians Luu Ha An and Vu Huy.
