He will be joined by đàn bầu player Ngô Trà My, đàn tranh player Phạm Trà My, and DJ Trí Minh.

Wilson will take the audience on a musical journey, starting with his new album, Tri Ân, where he skillfully reimagines Vietnamese music through the sounds of the cello.

This collaboration will go beyond boundaries as the artists engage in a profound musical conversation, blending the enchanting sounds of these beautiful instruments with captivating electronic music.
