Ancient Music Story: “A Beautiful Summer”
In the fourth Lunar month, following the spirit of Buddha’s Day, the program of Ancient Music Story by Dong Kinh Co Nhac (the Ancient Music Group of Tonkin) on Saturday, May 25 will introduce the musical features of the ancient Vietnamese spiritual life, with the poems of Zen period Ly – Tran being translated and dubbed the traditional music, the Buddhist fairy tale performances of traditional theater (Tuong – Cheo), and the rhythms of the Vietnamese folk music (Hat Cua Dinh – Hat chau van) along with traditional songs of many generations of Vietnamese folk music.
In a small and cozy space where the beautiful voices of the artists from the Ancient Music Group of Tonkin shine without electronic amplifiers, we hope that the flow of the ancient sound will bring audience on a journey back to thousand years ago, and help them feel and understand the traditional music culture of Vietnam.
