The orchestra will accompany soprano Ngoc Tuyen under the baton of Pierre-Andre Valade to open the concert with Trois poemes de Stephane Mallarme by Ravel.

The concert will continue with Debussy’s Petite Suite and Faure’s Masques et Bergamasques before ending with Ravel’s Bolero.

Bodo Sinfonietta was founded in January 1999 by Sveinung Lillebjerka, who is also its chief, one of its best known musicians, and a conductor.

Bodo performs regularly in its native Norway and tours major European cities like St Petersburg, Reykjavik, and Gothenburg.

It has often taken part in the annual Ultima Festival in Oslo, one of the world’s foremost contemporary music festivals and in 2009, performed at the Hermitage Music Festival in St Petersburg, Russia.

Tickets for the show are available at the conservatory at 112 Nguyen Du Street, District 1, and cost VND150,000 to VND200,000.
