Nguyen Thuy Duong, President of IB Group Vietnam, acknowledged the challenges of inviting Kenny G to perform in Vietnam due to international artists’ busy schedules and the strict requirements in terms of sound and lighting equipment. The program will last over 2 hours, and Kenny G and his band will perform his most famous songs like “Going Home,” “My Heart will Go On,” and “Forever in Love.”
