Organised by Dong Kinh Co Nhac or Traditional Vietnamese Music Group, the 10-day show of the programme, familiar to many lovers of Viet Nam’s traditional music, will be a journey back to Vietnamese traditional music and culture. The event will include an exhibition that will be held from July 8 to18 and the performance of traditional music on the night of July 8.

The exhibition will feature basic instruments of five Vietnamese traditional music forms, the strings of which are made of natural silk and have been restored by artist Xuan Hoach under the sponsorship of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

The show will not use any sound amplifiers, but only silk-stringed traditional musical instruments, one of the successes in the project for restoring traditional musical instruments by Dong Kinh Co Nhac.

First introduced in May 2015, Chuyen Nhac Pho Co has been held monthly with the aim of providing a general introduction to the traditional and contemporary music of Viet Nam’s 1,000-year-old capital Ha Noi.
