Gift for Vietnamese audience

This is the first time the Russian National Orchestra - the first orchestra in Russia to receive a Grammy Award, ranked by the prestigious European music magazine Gramophone as one of the 20 best orchestras in the world - has performed in Vietnam.

For two nights, the orchestra performs under the baton of Spanish conductor César Álvarez, one of the "most respected conductors today," according to the organizers.

This special concert marks the return to the capital's audience after several years of absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The musical repertoire of the two shows was slightly different.

On the first night (October 12), the orchestra will perform the Vietnamese National Anthem (arranged by musician Do Hong Quan), along with classic music, and performances by piano soloist Eva Gevorgyan.

On the second night (October 13), Eva Gevorgyan's performance was replaced by a number of ballet excerpts by principal dancers from the Bolshoi Theater.

At the press conference to inform about the program on June 27, musician Quoc Trung - the general director of the program - answered a question from Tuoi Tre Online , saying that the orchestra performed the Vietnamese National Anthem as a gift to the Vietnamese audience, showing respect for the country where the artists came to perform.
