HN & HCMC – The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic

Sat 10 Jul, 8 pm
Hanoi Opera House

Sun 11 Jul, 8 pm
HCMC Opera House

We cordially present to you the concert of the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic at Hanoi Opera House and HCMC Opera House.

Another “Germany in Vietnam 2010” event. See our Feature Page for info on more events celebrating German Year on Vietnam.

“Innovative, brilliant, humorous”, that is the message of the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic. The ensemble, an assembly of musicians unique in the world, has taken its place in the first row on the international musical landscape. More than one hundred contemporary composers have created works especially for the 12 Cellists. Their broad repertoire has impressed audiences around the world for the last 37 years. Whether playing classical, jazz or avant-garde, the 12 Cellists produce an unmistakable, richly facetted mix of musical colors and unparalleled sound quality. The instruments they play contribute as well: all come from Italian workshops of the 17th and 18th centuries.

They accompany German Federal Presidents on official travels, and the Japanese Emperor welcomes them regularly. Their appearances in Hanoi and HCMC will be one of the highlights of “Germany in Vietnam 2010”.
