The music concert draws the attention and participation of many students from the Faculty of Communication and Design
Intending to close the gap between students and traditional forms of music such as folk and classical, the music concert “Close Distance” took the students from one surprise to another. The show included beautiful classical pieces which were performed by artists from Ho Chi Minh City Music Academy, such as the “Four strings” band with violin, viola, cello and contrabass (double bass), harp solo performance, flutes ensemble, as well as opera repertoire with crystal clear vocal, etc.

In addition, the beauty of Vietnamese traditional music was also introduced to the students through the performance and sharing of the Meritorious Artist Ngo Tuyet Mai and the band “Truc Mai House”. The students had a chance to learn about the history of creation as well as the meaning of each folk musical instrument, such as the gourd zither (one-string zither), bamboo flute, son flute, zither, drum…
