Compositions from different countries will be presented but with special emphasis on works of Vietnamese composers.
Besides instruments of European classical music, the traditional Vietnamese monochord will also be used to interpret the contemporary music.
HNME was founded in 2015 on the initiative of composer Vu Nhat Tan, violinist Pham Truong Son, composer Tran Kim Ngoc and American conductor Jeff von der Schmidt. The new group is eager to bring Vietnamese and international contemporary music to a broad Vietnamese public.
