Nhan Dan Online- Hundreds of
musical instruments are now on display at the exhibition of
traditional music instruments from Vietnamese ethnic groups
opened last night at the Vietnam Exhibition Centre, Hanoi.
This is the first exhibition on
musical instruments of this scale, which aims to introduce
to visitors the diversity of Vietnamese musical instruments,
so as to hail the traditional culture of Vietnam and
preserve the traditional instruments in the community’s
spiritual life.
The exhibition displays hundreds
of Vietnamese traditional musical instruments, including
monochord, bamboo flute, two-chord guitar, 16-chord zither
and drums from northern delta and midland provinces as well
as unique music instruments of northern mountainous
provinces such as cymbals and bamboo panpipe. The
instruments come from five main cultural regions of Vietnam,
namely northern delta, northern mountainous region, central
coastal area, Central highlands and southern Vietnam.
At the opening ceremony, artists
from the Vietnam National Music Institute and from other
provincial art troupes gave a special performance of
traditional music.
The exhibition, which is co-organised
by the Vietnam Ethnic Minorities Culture Museum, the
National Music Institute, and the Vietnam Exhibition Centre,
is part of activities to mark the 80th founding anniversary
of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the 1,000th
anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
