HÀ NỘI — Singer Đinh Mạnh Ninh, ex-member of band M4U, will live stream his upcoming concert at Công Nhân Theatre on July 30, taking a pioneering step in Việt Nam’s contemporary music industry.

Entitled Đinh Mạnh Ninh Live!, the special concert will be performed live, recorded and watched online with the highest sound and image quality. Not only will the hundreds in the audience at the theatre enjoy the show in ‘real time’, but also an online audience that has access to TV or digital devices like smart phones or tablets connected to the internet.

The 27-year-old singer’s musical project is conducted by musical producer Mỹ Thanh under the artistic direction of songwriter Hồng Kiên.

“We have spent much time studying the models and experience of many world famous music producers from South Korea, Singapore, England and the US”, said Mỹ Trang, a representative of the music producer.

“Many international artists have caught up with the dramatic developments in technology. The release of CDs or VCDs does not drawn much attention like it used to, and even the music download is on the decline. Now, the most powerful ‘weapon’ capable of surpassing any traditional musical release is streaming, especially on Facebook,” she added.

Ninh said the new form of concert brought him much inspiration and also palpitations as never before.

“When performing in a normal live show, I just have to satisfy the audience at the theatre. In my upcoming musical show, my duty will be double because I also have to perform for the audience across the country who will be watching it live through streaming,” he says.

The singer revealed that he would perform 12 songs, two of which he had already performed, and one being a mashup of four old songs. All the other songs are new.

Đinh Mạnh Ninh Live! draws in the participation of singer Văn Mai Hương, rapper Hà Lê, an orchestra and dancers. All tickets are available for free by calling 0982 586 656, and the project’s turnover will be collected from its views and downloads on the Internet. Online audiences can watch the concert via either the FPT Play application or FPT Television.

After releasing the music video of the concert, its producers will pick out Ninh’s most excellent songs to enter in the upcoming Asia-Pacific music competitions.

As a singer and songwriter who pursues pop and RnB, Ninh has been highly appreciated for his talent. Some of his popular songs include Bài Ca Tình Yêu (Love Story), Xe Đạp (Bicycle) and Mưa (Rain). — VNS
