Gio Xanh (Green Wind), the first community choir in Vietnam, will hold its annual concert this summer in the ancient royal capital city of Hue and Hanoi.
According to VNA, the choir — along with conductor Nguyen Hai Yen and many guest artists — will perform 22 musical pieces that promise to be captivating and full of surprises, due to a new style of expression through multi-layered 'music colours'.
The repertoire includes a series of familiar melodies, including the folk songs Bac Kim Thang (Home Sweet Home) and Ly Ngua O (Singing about Black Horses), Mua roi (Raining), Nguoi Ha Noi (Hanoians) and Xin Chao Viet Nam (Hello Vietnam).
The programme will also introduce a choral set composed by Vietnamese musicians for choir and symphony orchestra (a classic genre from Europe) combined with the t'rung, a musical instrument of ethnic minority from the Central Highlands.
The choral set tells a story about water from the river and the sea, featuring a world dominated by a spirit of kindness, solidarity and love.
Audiences will also have chance to enjoy world-famous works such as Heal the World, If We Hold on Together, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Hana Wa Saku, which are staged to express Gio Xanh's modern spirit and integration with the world.
The 'journey' of Gio Xanh is not only about music but more importantly about inspiration for the audience, according to Yen./.
