Announcing the IMMERSED Jazz Concert Program

The event is an important highlight in the series of educational and artistic activities Living Heritage organized by GG Corporation to inspire an elite lifestyle in the community.

The centerpiece of the concert is the special appearance of world Jazz pianist Sir Niels Lan Doky (Denmark). Known as one of the pioneers of modern European Jazz, Niels Lan Doky has captivated audiences with his performances at the world's top performing venues such as Carnegie Hall (USA), Royal Albert Hall (UK), Blue Note (Japan) and many international music festivals.

His return to Vietnam after nearly two decades is not only meaningful in terms of art, but also a journey to find his roots because he is also of Vietnamese origin. With a trio performing with two famous Jazz artists such as Felix Pastorius (bass guitar) from the US and Jonas Johansen (drums) from Denmark, Niels Lan Doky will take the audience through different levels of contemporary Jazz - both vibrant and romantic.

The special highlight of the music night was the collaboration between Sir Niels Lan Doky and leading Vietnamese artists such as People's Artist Thanh Lam, singer Ha Tran, saxophone artist Quyen Thien Dac, and a number of other artists who have made a clear mark in both preserving the beauty of Vietnamese music's identity and creating and innovating to integrate into the world music flow. This meeting created a multidimensional musical space, where the spirit of international Jazz meets the breath of contemporary Vietnamese folk music in a top-notch, harmonious and spontaneous musical dialogue.

Jazz Concert IMMERSED not only brings together world-class artists, but is also led by leading experts and creators in the field of performance: director Pham Hoang Nam, music director - musician Quoc Trung. All performance costumes for the concert will be designed by designer Tom Trandt.

Director Pham Hoang Nam said the Jazz Concert IMMERSED stage is not just a place for performances, but also a place to “tell stories”. There will be many surprises, especially when international Jazz artists use traditional Vietnamese instruments for the first time.

Director Pham Hoang Nam shared at the announcement ceremony of the music completion.

Musician Quoc Trung shared that he wanted to introduce to Vietnamese audiences a famous and successful jazz artist in Europe and America, who is also a prestigious music producer. This is also an opportunity for Vietnamese audiences to feel the talent of Niels Lan Doky and how he collaborates with leading Vietnamese artists.

People's Artist Thanh Lam said that the first time she worked with Sir Niels Lan Doky was when she was 30 years old in a performance in Denmark. "Therefore, I am really looking forward to his collaboration in Vietnam this time. I will sing again some of the songs that I sang when I was 30 years old in that show in Denmark."
