HÀ NỘI — Young solo pianist Nguyễn Đăng Quang and artists from the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra (VNSO) will perform at the Toyota Concert 2023, which is scheduled to take place in Hà Nội and HCM City in August.
The first concert will be held at the Hà Nội Opera House on August 5, followed by another in HCM City on August 13.
Under the baton of Japanese principal conductor Honna Tetsuji, the artists will present a composition by the Russian composer Sergey Vasilyevich Rakhmaninovm – the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43.
The concert’s repertoire will also feature Symphony No. 2 in D-major, Op. 43 – a composition by Finland's greatest composer Jean Sibelius, who is acknowledged worldwide for his mastery of symphonic forms and for his innovative, highly personalised orchestral scoring.
Tetsuji has served as music director and principal conductor of the VNSO since 2009. He was appointed conductor of the Osaka Symphony Orchestra from 1995 to 2001 and was a frequent guest conductor of the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra from 1998 to 2001.

Quang, whose father is the famous composer and music producer Nguyễn Quốc Trung and whose mother is Vietnamese diva Thanh Lam, is notable for starting his piano study when he was nine at the Việt Nam National Academy of Music.
In 2020, he completed his undergraduate training programme, majoring in Classical Piano Performance, at the University of Montreal (Canada) after being given a full scholarship from the Vietnamese Government under the guidance of Professor Đặng Thái Sơn.
Two years later, in 2022, he completed his master's degree programme and is now pursuing a doctorate at the University of Montreal.
To support young talents in pursuing their passion for classical music, all the ticket proceeds will be given to promising students majoring in classical music. The donation is under the framework of the Toyota Scholarship to support young musical talents in Việt Nam.
First held in 1998, the annual Toyota Concert aims to help the public get closer to classical music.
Tickets range from VNĐ500,000 to 800,000 and are available at https://vnso.org.vn. — VNS
