He has taught at the Viet Nam National Academy of Music and has performed nationwide and abroad with the Viet Nam National Symphony of Orchestra (VNSO) and the Viet Nam National Opera and Ballet.

The other three members of the quartet are also veteran musicians. Thu Nga is a master violist at the VNSO, while cellist Trung Dung has performed in several countries, such as the United States, Japan, China and Italy.

Violinist Nguyen Thu Binh has performed with the Asia Youth Orchestra, the Asean Symphony Orchestra and the Bangkok String Orchestra.

The Verano – Ha Noi quartet has been invited to perform in Iran from September 1 to 6 on the occasion of the Viet Nam National Day, falling on September 2.
