The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam proudly presents “Hanoi Collective Orchestra” which is audience participatory, improvisational orchestra performance on 27th of September in Hanoi. Before the performance, we will also hold a workshop to create “Music Instruments”.
Ensembles Asia Orchestra is a project launched in 2014, with the mission of creating a free-form orchestra that engages with people who are not professional musicians by the Japan Foundation, with musician, Mr. Otomo Yoshihide.
After arriving at Hanoi, Mr. Otomo Yoshihide (musician), Mr. Fuji Hiroshi (artist) and 6 university students who has relation with Tohoku area will search materials which are used for everyday life in Hanoi. Then, they will create “Music Instruments” using these materials.
On 27th, we will hold a workshop for “Music Instruments creation” by using items for daily use. After the workshop, play together with participants by using “Music Instruments”.
We are welcome people who have never learned to play an instrument.
At the performance, we don’t use musical score. The sound we play depends on feelings, relationship, and conversation among participants.
