The New York Philharmonic Orchestra is to play Hanoi on October 17

The world renowned New York Philharmonic Orchestra will perform in Hanoi on October 17 as part of its Asia tour that starts in Tokyo, Japan on October 8.

“Hanoi Opera House is a perfect choice. If possible, we can expect an outdoor performance here,” Zarin said.

After a two-day tour to Vietnam, the orchestra will go on to the United Arab Emirates before winding up the tour on October 28.

Founded in 1842, the New York Philharmonic has toured 59 countries and this is the first time talented conductor Alan Gilbert is touring Vietnam with the orchestra.

The orchestra will also visit the Vietnam National Institute of Music and have a cultural exchange with the students there
