The performance will include eight members of the Japan-based AUNJ Classic Orchestra, which launched in 2008 and features Japanese traditional music.
AUNJ members play taiko (drum), shamisen (three-stringed guitar), koto (traditional 13-stringed instrument derived from the Chinese zheng and similar to đàn tranh, 16-chord zither, of Việt Nam), shakuhachi (end-blown flute in bamboo) and shinobue (transverse flute).
The annual One Asia Joint Concert was organised by the AUNJ in 2013 s a cultural exchange programme, enhancing the friendship between Japan and other countries. — VNS
