It will combine 24 programmes over two years with each concert a month at Tuoi Tre Theatre. Artists from Tuoi Tre Theatre and guests, including overseas Vietnamese artists, will attend the programme. Emerging in Vietnam in the early 20th century, “Tan nhac” has developed along with Vietnamese history from pre-war (before 1945) to reform period and contributed to the country’s musical sector with outstanding composers and pieces.
