On the afternoon of October 9, the program "Kenny G Live in Vietnam", the opening event for a series of world-class music events called "Good Morning Vietnam", was announced in Hanoi.

This is an international music project for the community in Vietnam, initiated by Nhan Dan Newspaper and IB Group Vietnam.

"Good Morning Vietnam" project is expected to be an annual event that not only brings the world's top music to Vietnam but also utilises all proceeds for charitable activities run by Nhan Dan newspaper.

8 years after his first performance in Vietnam, legendary American saxophonist Kenny G will return to Hanoi to meet local fans again in a single music night taking place at 8:00 p.m. on November 14 at the National Convention Centre in Nam Tu Liem district, Hanoi.

The "Kenny G live in Vietnam"  is set to last for over two hours, with the Grammy Awards winner and his accompanying band performing all famous compositions throughout his career, such as "Going Home," "Havana," "Romeo & Juliet," and "My Heart Will Go On."
