The Koviet Sinawi Art Program, part of the “Korea-ASEAN Community Innovation Project”, is led by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea and the Korea Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE). The project aims to explore the similarities and differences in the traditional music of the two countries, and harmoniously combine them to create a unique symphony between Korea and Vietnam.

The project will be launched for the first time in 2024. In 2025, the project will hold two concerts, performing at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (October 10) and at the Vietnam National Academy of Music, Hanoi (October 15).
