Youngsters revitalising traditional music through living museum

In a recent community event entitled “The ancient music period”, held in Hanoi, youngsters showcased their passion for preserving national culture through a series of different performances.

Taking place over the past two weekends, the event provided audiences with an opportunity to enjoy various traditional music genres in northern Vietnam from the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. What made it particularly noteworthy was the active involvement of students in its organisation.

By adopting the “living museum” model, the students successfully brought a fresh atmosphere to the event, with visitors able to indulge in lively traditional folk music performances. 

Aside from performances, the event also featured workshops and interactive activities. Visitors had the opportunity to try on ancient costumes, practice calligraphy, and take part in folk games.

These hands-on experiences were guided by artisans and added an extra layer of excitement to the event./.
