Vietnamese traditional musical accessories

PANO - The Hanoi Pho Co (Old Quater) Management Board is organizing its special show at the Old Quarter Culture Exchange Centre, 50 Dao Duy Tu Street, from July 8 to 18.

Organized by Dong Kinh Co Nhac (Traditional Vietnamese Music Group), the 10-day show of the program, to entertain lovers of Vietnam’s traditional music, is a journey back to Vietnamese traditional music and culture. The event includes an exhibition that is due to take place from July 8 to 18 and the performance program of traditional music on the night of July 8.

The exhibition showcases 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, according to the organizers, but only silk-stringed traditional musical instruments, one of the successes in the project for restoring traditional musical instruments by Dong Kinh Co Nhac.

Commenced in May 2015, the Chuyen Nhac Pho Co program has been held monthly with the aim of introducing and promoting the traditional and contemporary music of Vietnam’s 1,000-year-old capital Hanoi.
