Hue Trumpet Orchestra in preparation for performances at Christmas

On the morning of December 15th, Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City organized activities to celebrate Christmas 2024, toward the 80th Anniversary of the Founding of the Vietnam People’s Army and the 35th Anniversary of the All-People's National Defense Festival.

Appearing and becoming all the rage in the last months of the year, handmade products made of velvet wires have been attracting the attention and love of many people.

Hue Festival Center informed that the “Winter Reunion” music program with the participation of young music bands within the framework of the Winter Festival - Hue Festival 2022 will take place at 19:00pm on December 24 at the stage in front of Quoc Hoc Hue High school for the Gifted.

In Hue, the Christmas season usually occurs on the coldest days of the year. While the cold is always accompanied by rain, the cold and wet of the rainy season in Hue just become more shimmering and fanciful, as the Christmas lights in the churches are brightly lit up in every corner of the city.

Sometimes, in the middle of the cold and wet year-end days, I hear the ringing of Phu Cam church bells as I passed by, where the tall steeple stood in the wind and rain, with all the brilliant lights awaiting a new Christmas season. In the midst of the freezing cold, I thought I was somewhere in Europe. Perhaps, only snowfall was missing.
