From the organizer:

Live performance with Sun Glitters

Luxembourg artist Sun Glitters’ (alias Victor Ferreira) sound, could be defined as a swirling melting pot of many different influences and textures. Reminiscent of Boards of Canada, My Bloody Valentine or Gold Panda, it is also a totally unique, emotionally charged experience. Sun Glitters visual presentation is dreamlike, in pastel sun-faded colors and hazy shadows.

Sun Glitters’ individual sounds and vocals are muffled, as if traveling underwater, defocused, spilling over one another and with an echo.

At the occasion of his first Hanoi gig, Sun Glitters will team up with contemporary Luxemburgish dancer Sylvia Camarda and renowned Vietnamese percussionist Tran XuanHoa for a unique and unforgettable live performance.

Dance performance Warrior of Beauty II

Warrior of Beauty II

Warrior of Beauty is a dance theatre solo performed by Luxembourg dancer Sylvia Camarda. The performance engages in a dialogue with the audience that revolves around and explores one central question: how to be a warrior of beauty? This dialogue is also a monologue; at once the personal expression of the performer and a mirror held up to each and every member of the audience. How may individuals find themselves in their own true personality?

A woman attempting to find and define herself in all her diversity, covering the most outstanding (the diva, the politician, the virgin and the matron) as well as the most demeaning facets of that diversity that are the outcome of her aesthetic determination and her fear of failure.

The piece pays tribute to the grandes dames who fought for their cause throughout their lives: Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Eddie Sedgwick, Cleopatra and Nelly Arcan.

Concert with Francesco Tristano

Francesco Tristano_Piano2

Being dubbed classical music’s next prodigal son might sound like a heavy load but Francesco Tristano carries it on his light shoulders with the most amazing grace. A graduate of New York’s prestigious Juilliard School, the Luxembourger now residing in Barcelona has recorded several albums with compositions from Bach, Ravel and Prokofiev among others. It’s his insatiable appetite for discovery and unique feeling for dance floor sensibilities though, that have made him a staple among music connoisseurs and the undisputed go-to pianist for experimental projects from the hotbeds of club and high culture.

The concert at the Opera House will showcase Tristano’s passion for classic and contemporary music. This concert will be Francesco’s third performance in Hanoi after the solo recitals in 2011 and 2012.

Francesco Tristano will perform with the Hanoi Symphony Orchestra under the baton of acclaimed Vietnamese conductor Le Phi Phi.
