Vietnamese artists selected to join Asian Youth Orchestra

Both artists are students of the Vietnam National Music Academy and often perform in concerts held by the academy’s orchestra.

For Hoang Tung, this is the fifth time he has got a chance to perform in the Asian Youth Orchestra. He won the first prize at an Asian music contest in 2005 and the second prize at a national music contest for young talents in 2007.

Hoang Tung and Thanh Tu will join other excellent representatives from Asia in performing in Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and Vietnam throughout August.

During their trip to Vietnam, the Asian Youth Orchestra will perform two concerts at the Hanoi Opera House on August 15-16.

Established in 1987, the Asian Youth Orchestra aims to honour young Asian music talents and create an opportunity for them to gain experience in an international environment.
