On the afternoon of November 13, Nhan Dan Newspaper and IB Group Vietnam organized a meeting between the press and artist Kenny G before the Kenny G Live In Vietnam event held on the evening of November 14 at the My Dinh National Convention Center, Hanoi .

Kenny G performed a part of his famous song Forever in love on his 60 year old Soprano.

Sharing his feelings at the press conference, artist Kenny G expressed his joy at returning to Vietnam to perform at the Kenny G Live In Vietnam music night.

“With the video you gave me, I felt the love of the Vietnamese audience. I would like to thank Nhan Dan Newspaper and IB Group for bringing me and my works back to Vietnam this time. I am very surprised by the love of the Vietnamese audience. I hope that with this love from you, the frequency of my appearances in your country to perform will be more frequent, maybe not 5 years but 3 years and shorter”, artist Kenny G shared.

Kenny G said he is trying to practice speaking Vietnamese with standard intonation and pronunciation. Regarding the special things for the show, according to this artist, he has a band that has been with him for over 30 years so they basically understand each other. He and the artists will perform a list of songs quite similar to previous performances and will have special songs from his latest album. "Kenny G's music is instrumental music so the audience remembers more the emotions they hear and the atmosphere they hear in the auditorium. Each time they play, it is a different improvisation by the artist, the night will definitely be full of surprises," said artist Kenny G.

In response to the press's question about whether he would dedicate a Vietnamese song to the Vietnamese audience, artist Kenny G said that IB Group sent him the very famous song " Bèo đat Mây trôi" but recently he and the band have been on tour and have not had time to research how to perform music combined with other instruments. "From now until tomorrow night, I'm afraid I won't have time to practice. And if I have time, I believe that performing this piece will be wonderful," Mr. Kenny G shared.

Expressing his emotion at the humanitarian significance of the program that the saxophone legend participated in this time, at the press conference, artist Kenny G presented the organizers with a saxophone to auction to raise funds for the Good Morning Vietnam project to support people in difficult circumstances, especially children, as a contribution to the charity project that Kenny G performed for the first time for such a large community program. According to the artist, the saxophone he presented to the organizers was an alto saxophone, a replica of the one he used when he first started his career.

Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper Le Quoc Minh also said that the organizing committee will organize a professional auction of the saxophone that artist Kenny G donated. "The saxophone is a replica of the saxophone that artist Kenny G used to make when he first started his career and is no longer being produced. We believe that many people will want to own this precious saxophone, associated with the name of a famous artist like Kenny G," said Mr. Le Quoc Minh.
