The LUALA free Outdoor Concert Series – Spring Summer 2013 will officially begin in Hanoi on April 20.

The series will feature two performances each week from April 20 to May 12 on Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 61 Ly Thai To Street.

Hanoi audiences will enjoy a combination of modern music, including jazz, electronic, contemporary piano and nomadic music, as well as traditional Vietnamese genres such as cai luong (southern folk opera), tuong (classical drama), chau van (spiritual singing) and ca tru (ceremonial singing).

The events will gather many well-known folk singers such as People’s Artist Thanh Hoai (chau van ), People’s Artist Xuan Hoach (ca tru ) and Meritorious Artist Tra My (cai luong), along with other contemporary names including electronic music soloist Tri Minh, singer Le Cat Trong Ly and pianist Pho An My.

A string orchestra conducted by violist Xuan Huy will also perform on the final day of the concert series at the Ecopark new urban area in Hung Yen province.

This is the fourth LUALA concert season following the successful fall-winter 2011, spring – summer 2012 and fall – winter 2012 series.
