Duy and Ho are well-loved by local and foreign classical music enthusiasts. They have won many prestigious national and international awards.

They, along with the orchestra under the baton of Japanese conductor Honna Tetsuji, will present famous classical music pieces, including Double Concerto by Johannes Brahms and Symphony No. 7 by Ludwig van Beethoven.

All proceeds from ticket sales of the concert tour will be donated to the Toyota Vietnam Foundation to fund scholarships for talented young musicians in schools across the country.

The programme was jointly organised by Toyota Motor Vietnam and the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra (VNSO), aiming to enhance cultural and musical exchange between the two countries.
