From British Council:
The first ever UK-Vietnam Gala Concert, which brings together the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet and young artists from the UK’s Concordia Foundation, will be held on 22 March 2011 at the Hanoi Opera House. The concert is in honour of, and sponsored by the British Council Vietnam and Alderman Michael Bear, the Lord Mayor of the City of London, who will make his official visit to Vietnam from 19 to 24 March.

The UK-Vietnam Gala Concert will be the debut international event of a unique collaboration between The Lord Mayor and Concordia Foundation, with concerts also planned in China and Kenya during official Mayoral visits. The aim of the concert, which forms part of the Concordia Foundation global projects, is to build bridges through music and the arts, and to provide much-needed concert platforms for emerging young artists.

Supported by the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, the Concordia Foundation will provide start-up funding for a Vietnam Performing Arts foundation to offer performing opportunities, as well as vocal and technical training for young Vietnamese artists.

Moreover, a workshop will be organised with Vietnam Stage and Drama Academy on Sound Recording and Amplifying Classical Music on 20-21 March, led by Tim Brice – a member of the Concordia Foundation.
