(CPV) – An evening of world-class music led by celebrated Dutch conductor Jan Stulen will take place at the HCMC Opera House on November 27.
Together with the Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Ballet Symphony Orchestra and Opera (HSBO), Stulen will take audiences on an exquisite aural adventure through masterpieces from legendary composers such as Brahms, Schubert and Bizet.
Tickets for the performance are priced at VND 250,000 with free admission for children.
Stulen was born in Amsterdam in 1942. The celebrated Dutch conductor conducted his first public orchestra at the age of 19, and went on to direct numerous prestigious orchestras, including the Holland Symphonia and Deutsche Kammer Orchester Frankfurt. Permanent conductor of L’Orchestra Particolare, artistic advisor for Nationale Reisopera in the Netherlands, and head professor at the Conservatories of Maastricht and Rotterdam, Stulen has conducted highly reviewed performances in Europe, Egypt, Korea and Thailand.
On his visit to Vietnam, Stulen will teach a week-long series of conductor master classes to the winners of the talent competition “So You Want to be a Conductor”, open to music master students nationwide. Stulen will also be presenting a workshop for business professionals on November 23, centred on the similarities between conducting an orchestra and business leadership, using music as a metaphor./.
