Hanoi audiences enjoyed wonderful works of top-notch musical quality on the first night of the 3rd Classical Music Festival.
The Hanoi Opera House witnessed an impressive musical event on the first night of the 3rd Classical Music Festival. With the theme "The Art of Concerto," the program presented the audience with outstanding works.
To open the program, the audience was treated to the Neopolis Concerto by composer Paweł Łukaszewski, a work full of color and energy.
The appearance of solo violinist Emanuel Salvador brought the piece to life. With his masterful technique and heartfelt dedication, Emanuel conveyed the passion and subtlety of the work, captivating the audience. Following this was Marcelo Nisinman's 13 Variations on a Polish Melody , which not only immersed the audience in lyrical melodies but also evoked memories of folk culture.
The next highlight was Ignacy Jan Paderewski's Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 17, 1st Movement , brilliantly performed by soloist Michał Francuz. From the moment the first notes emanated from the piano, the entire auditorium fell silent. The music seemed to touch the hearts of every listener, evoking a profound and sincere emotion. Michał not only played the music but also breathed life into each note, creating a deeply moving musical narrative.
The musical atmosphere was further enhanced with Mikołaj Piotr Górecki's Second Space op. 55, a work that offered a harmonious blend of string quartet and string orchestra. The combination of talented artists such as Emanuel Salvador and Magdalena Ziarkowska-Kołacka on violin, Emilia Goch Salvador on viola, and Cecylia Stanecka on cello created an emotionally charged atmosphere. The gentle and profound melodies of Second Space brought the program to a climax, transporting the audience to a mystical musical world .
The program concluded with Wojciech Kilar's iconic piece, *Orawa *. The powerful, fiery music brought the audience back to reality, ending an emotional evening filled with joy and inspiration. The resounding applause from the audience affirmed the power of classical music to connect hearts and souls.
Behind the success of the performance lies the rigorous training process of the artists, from intense rehearsals to dress rehearsals. Every note, every rhythm was meticulously refined, creating perfection in every detail. Each artist is not just a performer but a dedicated artist, giving their all to deliver a memorable show.
One factor that cannot be overlooked is the effort of the Saigon Symphony Orchestra (SPO) in persuading the Baltic Neopolis Orchestra to come to Vietnam. Thanks to this collaboration, the audience was able to enjoy wonderful works of top-notch musical quality. The cooperation between the Baltic Neopolis Orchestra and the Saigon Symphony Orchestra (SPO) not only created memorable musical moments but also opened the door to cultural exchange, providing a rich and profound experience for all present.
The second night of the 3rd Classical Music Festival will take place on October 21st at the Hanoi Opera House.
