Registration

The history of classical music has been characterised by multifaceted cultural influences throughout the centuries. Composers such as Georg. F Händel or Kurt Weill left or had to leave their home country for various reasons. Their cultural encounters with other countries and traditions have flowed into their compositions. Kurt Weill's song Youkali is a melancholy portrayal of human longing. Youkali stands for an imaginary land of wishes and hope.

Hanoi Brass Community's brass recital, through a musical kaleidoscope spanning entire centuries and often wildly contrasting styles, seeks to offer a refreshing listening experience that mirrors the way art reflects changing times. At the same time, themes of longing and searching that connect all human beings can be experienced musically.
