JF Garage Concert 03: J-Music for Brass Band
Fri 10 May 2013, 8 – 9 pm
Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam
From Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam:
In celebration of the Japan – Vietnam Friendship Year 2013, the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam presents its third act of the JF Garage Concert, “J-Music for Brass Band” by Hanoi Brass Band.
Hanoi Brass Band was formed in 1998 when the original members were students of the Hanoi Conservatory of Music (the present Vietnam National Academy of Music). In 2008, the band was officially named as Hanoi Brass Band with some changes of the members.
The band consists of 6 professional musicians from Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra: Mr. Kim Xuan Hieu (Horn) as the band leader, Mr. Tran Hien (Trombone), Mr. Le Minh Chieu (Tuba), Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hai (Trumpet), Mr. Pham Van Hieu (Trumpet) and Mr. Nghiem Manh Tuan (Drums).
All members are highly capable of conveying nuance of diverse music and Mr. Pham Van Hieu in particular, supported by the Japan Foundation, he just took an intensive training at NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, Japan in December 2012, and has developed his expressiveness further.
In this JF garage concert, Hanoi Brass Band will sound brass instruments to play masterpieces of marches, jazzy tunes and popular songs of Vietnam and the world. Moreover, as one of the highlights of the concert, they will play Japanese popular songs such as “Furusato [My Country Home]” and “Okina Furudokei [Grandfather’s Clock]” in Hanoi Brass Band’s original style and arrangement.
We do hope our JF Garage Concert 03 will be a good showcase of cheerful, powerful and enjoyable brass band music as well as a good opportunity to promote the appreciation of Japanese music.
Free of admission. The concert starts at 8pm on Friday 10 May in the courtyard (open stage, capacity: around 200 guests) of the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam (27 Quang Trung, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi). All free seats, first-come, first-served.
