MUSIC & PERFORMANCES
20th Century Music Concert Series: Gala Concert 2021
19:00, Dec 11
Goethe Institut, 56-58-60 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street
From Goethe Institut:
The 20th century saw the transformation and explosion of new musical styles and languages. Influenced by countless dark historical events, composers all felt the traditional musical language was no longer relevant to the contemporary social context. Each composer finds different ways to express the voice of the times, using a new tonal system, a harmony system of his own, experiment new extended techniques on the instrument to create new sound, or even throwing away elements that they feel unnecessary to completely remove any barrier to creativity.
The 20th century music concert series in collaboration between Goethe Institute Hanoi and Inspirito School of Music to introduce compositions of the 20th and 21st centuries has organized 6 concerts in 2021, many of the compositions of the series were Vietnam premiere, including young composer Pho Duc Hoang of Vietnam.
The Gala Concert 2021 of the series will be a diverse program which contains some unique compositions that have been performed in previous concerts as well as many new compositions by composers from different countries, hoping to create a vivid picture of different and musical styles and colors.
Ticket: VND 300.000
Ticket for student: VND 250.000

The official time of MAP 2021 was launched in the beginning of October with the participation of 20 artists from Germany, USA, Japan, Korea, India, Switzerland, Finland, France and Vietnam. For 8 weeks working together, 17 individual and collaborative projects by all artists are implemented on multiple online platforms with many new working methods, remotely supported by the coordinators and volunteer’s team in Hanoi. MAP 2021 ends with a showcase at UNION hall, Complex 01 (Hanoi, Vietnam) for 2 weeks at the end of November and will live on the website https://the-white-distance.art within the next 12 months as the online exhibition of the project.
Hanoi-Art Showcase: “Scroll”
Nov 11- Dec 12, 10 am – 8 pm
NGA Art Space – TACH SPACES
20 Hai Ba Trung Street
From the organizer:
A world without words is a world without meaning. A dream wrapped in words called myth. Shades of meaning absent logic. Stories rich in rhythm. Giving words to a wordless song.
Since childhood, we have been told countless stories. Stories, which like dreams, are often rife with logic yet contain profound meanings and lessons from the past. In this sense, dreams are the logic of myth. Each image and detail is conveyed through words, then distilled into a cacophany of poems, epigrams and stories that are absorbed into our reality. Gradually, myth and reality become inseperable and both undergo subtle changes with the passing of time becoming rich in rhythm and forming the identity of each generation.
“SCROLL” is an opportunity for each person to see themselves through mythological stories as they were intended, not reserved in the glass of a museum but preserved in practice in relation to the current life we’re living.
