Well-known saxophone artist Kenny G performs in Hanoi on the night of October 13 as one of a series of cultural activities to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the normalisation of the Vietnam-US diplomatic relations, according to the US Embassy in Vietnam.
The famous ballet dancing group Battery Dance, from New York City, will also have performance in the capital city, as said at a news conference hosted by US Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius.
