Bringing traditional art to humanities students

This is the third time traditional art has been organized and brought to the students of the School. The program is organized by the Department of Folklore, Faculty of Literature; the School Youth Union in collaboration with the Center for Music Arts Development.

Attending the program were musician Thao Giang, Director of the Vietnam Music Art Center; Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, Deputy Head of the Faculty of Literature, University of Social Sciences and Humanities; folk culture researcher Nguyen Hung Vi, Faculty of Literature, University of Social Sciences and Humanities; Dr. Tran Bach Hieu, Secretary of the School's Youth Union, along with artists and many students from the school's faculties.

Folklore researcher Nguyen Hung Vi, Faculty of Literature, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, delivered the opening speech of the program.

In a scientific study of Vietnamese students studying abroad, it was shown that Vietnamese students abroad are often at a disadvantage in music. At exchange and activity sessions, Vietnamese students often perform less than international students. In developed countries, when finishing high school, students often master a musical instrument and have a basic knowledge of culture and music. From those concerns, the organizers of the program hope that this will be a playground for young people to get closer to music, especially making traditional folk music. From there, awakening their passion for this art form, shared folk culture researcher Nguyen Hung Vi.

Musician Thao Giang, Director of the Vietnam Music Arts Center, is speaking at the program.

Returning to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities after 30 years in a different position, musician Thao Giang, Director of the Center for Research and Development of Vietnamese Music, could not hide his own emotions. He hoped that the music night would bring impressions to the students of the University.

Musician Thao Giang also provided more information so that young people who are passionate about this type of folk art can watch performances every Saturday night at Hang Dao and Hang Ngang. This is the address for performing folk arts of the people of the capital Hanoi and serves international tourists when visiting Hanoi. In addition, the center also performs on Ma May and Luong Ngoc Quyen streets about 3 nights a week.

"Currently, the Center for Research and Development of Vietnamese Music also has a training system for the public of all ages in the art forms of singing, singing, drum singing, performing, and even musical instruments. Therefore, outside of class time, if students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities are interested, they can organize extracurricular classes on folk music," added Musician Thao Giang.

Dr. Tran Bach Hieu, Secretary of the School Youth Union, thanked the artists for taking the time to perform for the staff and students of the School.

The program opened with the performance "Ha Thanh 36 streets" performed by the artists of the Vietnam Music Research and Development Center.

The performance of the 5th week of the Hau Dong Quan contest attracted the attention of the students.

The market performance "The Blind Husband and Wife", the poem by poet Nguyen Khuyen has an interactive part that heats up the attention of students.
