During a press conference held on August 22 in Hanoi, Matsuda Ayuko, a member of the organizing board for an art performance, confirmed that this event represents a dream orchestra featuring talented artists from both Vietnam and Japan.

The event is being held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of joint diplomatic relations between the two countries and is expected to serve as a bridge connecting the people of both nations.

The special art performance, which will showcase the talents of 60 artists from Vietnam and Japan, is scheduled to take place in six cities and provinces across Japan, including Tokyo, Gunma, Iwate, Fukushima, Miyagi, and Nara.

A delegation of Vietnamese artists from the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet (VNOB), the Vietnam National Academy of Music (VNAM), and the Suc Song Moi Bamboo Ensemble will travel to Japan to participate in the event.

Pianist Nguyen Viet Trung, who recently became the first Vietnamese artist to compete in the prestigious Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition in over 40 years, will also be performing during the art performance.
