HCMC-A Night of Classical
Saigon Opera House,
07 Cong Truong Lam Son, D1
From the organizer:
Hot on the heels of the HBSO’s Friendship Concert Vietnam – US we have a concert exclusively of Russian music.
The concert opens with Rimsky-Korsakov’s Overture to his opera The Tsar’s Bride (1899). This was his tenth opera (he wrote 15) and concerned the first Russian tsar, known in English as Ivan the Terrible (1530 – 1584).
Rimsky-Korsakov is best known outside Russia for Scheherazade, music previously performed by HBSO. In life he worked as Inspector of Naval Bands, and was for a time the music tutor of Igor Stravinsky.

EXHIBITION
Hanoi-Exhibition: “Bottoms”
Until June 15
BLUE gallery, No.32 Trang Tien Street,
From the organizer:
Human body: spirituality of forms.
While known for his unconventional sculptures, Vuong Van Thao (1969), a graduate of Hanoi Fine Arts University (1995), has also continuously been working on his do paper series that exploits the ability of this traditional Vietnamese medium to physically generate the effect of the real and of the imaginary.
These works created since 1998 have a human body as its focus and cultivate its capacity to convey ideas and attitudes. The paintings, some subtle and delicate, others direct and expressive, incorporate body parts, that remain taboo for the visual art scene in Vietnam.

Hanoi-Exhibition “The Loop”
Opening: Mon 30 May 2022, 05 pm
Exhibition: 30 May – 06 June 2022
Art Exhibition House 16 Ngo Quyen Street
From the organizer:
Life is a journey of experience. Generations being a repetition of the start – the continuation – the end and then start over again. For each individual, this is the repetition of each moment in the series of long days of life. It is in those repeating days that the more people live, the more they experience, the more different they are, but also the easier it is to understand and empathize with everything around. From the simplest, most fragile things to the most complex, uncanny things. In that repetition, we only recognize the precious things when we grasp the “string” that connects them.
This Art exhibition with the theme of “The Loop” with evocative ideas, welcomes young artists to exchange and reciprocate personal artistic experiences. “Art is life”, So let people contemplate your life, and vice versa, open a small entrance from your emotional garden to the world around!

From the organizer:
Over the past two decades, Lim Khim Katy has been earnestly painting with a passion and dedication that is perhaps only fully appreciated by a few who know her very well. The entire oeuvre of works of Katy since 2002 represent, however, a manifestly impressive and profound achievement possible only for a uniquely talented and disciplined artist. Living and working in Saigon for the course of her artistic career to date, Katy has created an ever evolving and expanding visual record of contemporary life in Vietnam’s southern metropolis.
Hanoi-Exhibition: Reflection of the Doubled Scenery
25 May – 15 June 2022, 10 am – 07 pm
Hanoi Studio Gallery, 13 Trang Tien Street
From the organizer:
The series is “the story of a person standing somewhere between worlds, at the juncture of the future and the past. Ahead is an unfamiliar and overwhelming land and culture which needs to be grasped, yet is full of challenges and difficulties to integrate and to continue on the creative journey. Behind is a period of life with nostalgic colors of memories, childhood, and yearning love for the homeland. In the end, art was left with only one voice, one mood, one imbued love, laid out on a collection of 24 black and white artworks full of sincere emotions that artist Do Tuan Anh portrayed during harsh years of the epidemic.”
