The concert, entitled “Giai dieu Mua thu” (Autumn Melody), will be the largest-ever symphonic musical event in the semi-classical style, said Deputy Director of the Department of Performing Arts Ngo Hoang Quan.
He added that it will feature a 200-strong choir and 100 instrumentalists, including those from the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra and the Military University of Culture and Arts.
It will also include renowned performers such as monochord player Bui Le Chi, violinist Bui Cong Duy and singers Quang Tho, Duong Minh Duc and Quang Huy.
