The Dan Tranh is also known as Dan Thap Luc, or sixteen-stringed zither. Its shape resembles a bamboo tube that has been sliced vertically in half. The Dan Tranh originates from the ancient capital city of Hue, where women once played it for royalty, and the instrument is still considered a symbol of the city. This show gathers artists across the country: Hong Hanh from Hanoi, Hong Nga from Hue and Hai Phuong from Ho Chi Minh City; as well as two artists from Japan: Toshiko Nasage playing koto and his son Kenzan Nassage performing on Japanese flute; and Taiwanese students from the Dan Tranh department of the Taipei school in HCMC. Beside the show, an exchange with Prof. Dr. Tran Van Khe will be held at his private home on September 22. He will share about the similarities and differences between the Dan Tranh of Vietnam and the Koto of Japan./.
