Traditional music - The gentle touch of Vietnamese culture

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Music is like a boat that takes us through all the emotional levels of a culture and its history.
The traditional music of Vietnam - no matter which instrument is playing it - always carries a tenderness and depth like a message from the past. Sometimes the melody moves gently like an early morning breeze. Sometimes it lingers like an echo from heaven and earth. Sometimes it becomes quiet and calm like the last drop of dew falling on the soul in the evening. Without haste, without noise, music touches our innermost being with sensitivity and consistency and opens up spaces that only sounds can express: Longing, affection and the quiet yet haunting spirit of Vietnam.
Tonight's performance brings the audience closer to the beauty of Vietnamese traditional music - presented by three extraordinary artists from the group The Six Tones.
Nguyễn Thanh Thủy - an outstanding Đàn Tranh player of Vietnam, raised in an environment of traditional art and winner of numerous prestigious national awards. She impresses with a sensitive style that harmoniously combines tradition and modernity.
Ngô Trà My - virtuoso of the Đàn Bầu and lecturer at the Vietnam National Academy of Music. She is a familiar face at many international music festivals and delights audiences with her profound, expressive sound and her openness to experimental art.
She is joined by Stefan Östersjö - a Swedish guitarist and specialist in plucked instruments, known for his bold creativity and ability to combine Western instruments with traditional Asian soundscapes. He is one of Sweden's leading soloists in contemporary music.
This concert is not only a musical experience, but a journey into the cultural identity of Vietnam. In the midst of the bustling rhythm of Hamburg, we will let our thoughts drift together in sound, where past and present merge and Vietnam shines through in every note.
The artists take us on a journey through different regions of the country - from the north to the center to the south - through traditional works that are strongly influenced by local characteristics. Each melody not only tells of customs and landscapes, but also carries the voice, soul and breath of the people who live there.
And when the music plays, the melodies become gentle strokes of the oars, the sounds become small waves, and we - their companions - let ourselves drift. In music, in memories and in quiet, profound emotions.
