Hue "Bolero Golden Voice" Festival

Music tourism has become a popular and growing type of tourism in many European and Asian countries. In Vietnam, the trend of enjoying music combined with tourism is gradually being embraced by the public, and Hue has taken many moves to develop this type of tourism.

On the evenings of October 19 and 20, nearly 1,000 spectators gathered at the Song Huong Theater to immerse themselves in a music night themed “Hue Symphony - The Symphony of the Ancient Capital”. This is a unique art show, aiming to create a new and distinctive tourism product of the Ancient Capital.

In Hue, not many people play the Western saxophone because this musical instrument is not only difficult in terms of technique but also requires a lot of health. With a powerful but melodious saxophone sound and a confident performance style, Nguyen Huynh Thai Binh, a second-year student majoring in Western musical instrument performance at the Hue Academy of Music, is a rising young star of the saxophone world in the Ancient Capital.

On the night of May 6th, 2024, the three romances composed by Le Tu Minh, a Hue-native musician, were played at the Auditorium of Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. That was indeed a historic moment because it was the first time Vietnamese music had been played on stage at the oldest and most prestigious symphony house of Russia.

For the first time in Thua Thien Hue province, an only 5-year-old contestant named Thai Tue Nghi has emerged into victory, earning the gold medal at the nationwide “Festival Piano Talents 2024”competition, which has just been over.
