Bridge – Eight members of the band Synthesis from Macedonia will perform at the Hanoi Opera House on February 18 and in HCM City on February 28.

Synthesis uses traditional musical instruments like the Kaval, Gaida and Zurla wind instruments, Tarabuka string instrument, and Tapan and Tampura drums to play ancient music works of Macedonia. This is the first time a Balkan band has come to Vietnam.

Synthesis is a reputed band of world music in Macedonia. The band helps preserve ancient music works in danger of falling into oblivion. It was selected by the Macedonian Trade Council as an Honourable Ambassador of Macedonian Culture in 2006.

The band was set up in 1995, aiming to preserve traditional Macedonian culture. Synthesis has greatly contributed to widely advertising Macedonian culture and music to the world through performance tours to Japan, Israel, the US, Italy, and Australia.

The ‘guide’ for Synthesis in Vietnam will be conductor Le Phi Phi, who is working in Macedonia.
