From Hanoi Grapevine
The piano recital of Lee Bokyung, titled “Banquet on the Keyboard” is a fundraiser for the celebration of the 5th year of Hanoi Grapevine’s Finest, the main annual event that honors contemporary art in Vietnam, organized and selected by Hanoi Grapevine and the audience community, along with other events.
The piano recital “Banquet on the Keyboard” promises to bring an unique musical feast with a combination of Western classical style and Vietnamese folk tunes. Audiences will not only be immersed in the great and immortal sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven, four Ballades for solo piano by Frédéric Chopin, but also experience a new “flavor” of familiar Vietnamese folk tunes of North Vietnam through the sound of the piano in the work “Bunches of Flowers of Vietnam”by composer Đặng Hữu Phúc. Based on the pentatonic (five-note) scale, the most common scale in eastern Asia – with many different forms, rhythms, and emotions, Korean pianist Lee Bokyung has performed the latest version of “Bunches of Flowers of Vietnam” successfully many times in Hanoi, the US and received enthusiastic reception from the audience.
Located in relatively distant creative periods and the differences in East and West music, the piano recital “Banquet on the Keyboard” hopes to bring to the listeners the deep, melodious echo of piano solos and recreate the endless creativity of artists on their journey of experimenting with creative styles, expanding the potential of musical instruments from technique, material, rhythm to their outer limits.
