The concert was conducted by Japanese conductor Honna Tetsuji to honor classical music, bring chamber music closer to the audience, and spread appreciation for classical music in the community.

Director of VTC Nguyen Kim Trung said: “This is the first time V-concert has been organized. We hope that this classical music event will be held annually on the first day of the year. The concert aims to entertain the audience with the world’s classical masterpieces performed by leading Vietnamese and foreign artists.”

The concert was a musical journey from Vienna to Hanoi in the combination of international academic music and Vietnamese artists’ performances.
