The Ascending Dragon Music Festival, a collaboration between musicians
from the United States and Viet Nam, has been organised to mark the
1000th anniversary of the founding of Thang Long-Ha Noi capital.
During the six-week cultural exchange, 19 Americans will be visiting
Viet Nam in March, while 19 Vietnamese will tour California in April
and May for three weeks.
Performances in Viet Nam will take place at the Viet Nam National
Academy of Music, the Ha Noi Opera House and the HCM City Conservatory
Concert Hall.
World premieres of newly commissioned works by Alexandra du Bois, Kurt
Rohde, Pham Minh Thanh and Vu Nhat Tan will be held tomorrow, March 11.
The premier of American composer Elliott Carter's On Conversing with
Paradise, will be held on March 19. The famed musician is now 101 years

Works by Vietnamese veterans Nguyen Thien Dao and Ton That Thiet will also be performed on the day.
The VNAM will be holding additional performances this week at the Ha Noi Opera House.
Works to be performed include Chopin's Piano Recital on Friday, with a guest appearance by Poland's Joanna Lawrynowicz.
Tonight, VNAM violinists Hoang Ho Khanh Van, Nguyen Thien Minh, Tran
Quang Duy and pianists Do Hoang Linh Chi and Luu Duc Anh – all
