Trio Vivo from Denmark Plays Music of the Romanticism
Sat 04 Apr 2015, 8 pm
Goethe Institut
From Goethe Institut:
The expression ‘Vivo’ is used to describe music that is vivid, intense and brilliant. That is very fitting for these three, young and passionate musicians from Denmark, who have made their mark on the Danish music scene as both soloists and chamber musicians. All three of them can present a long list of prestigious awards. The Goethe-Institut Hanoi is pleased to host “Trio Vivo” and guests on their tour through Vietnam.
“Trio Vivo”, founded by three good friends in 2012, has performed at a number of significant concert series and festivals, including the Copenhagen Summer Music Festival. This evening, Trio Vivo will perform two major works by Brahms and Schumann, two of the most important composers of German Romanticism, as well as a piece by late-Romantic Danish composer Rued Langgaard and a tango by Astor Piazzolla. “Trio Vivo” will be accompanied by the violinist Nguyễn Mỹ Hương and the Danish violist Nicolaj Moeller Nielsen, who currently lives in Hanoi. Characteristic of “Trio Vivo” is the combination of great technical mastery and deep dedication.
Due to limited places we request that young visitors are invited at the age of 12 years up only.
Free tickets are available from Monday, 12:00, March 30th at the Goethe-Institut.
