Asia Society Texas presents ROCO Connections: Voices of Vietnam, featuring an evening exploring the experiences of Vietnamese immigrants through music by Asian artists and composers.
Tenor Nicholas Phan features in the world premiere of Season 20 Composer-In-Residence Viet Cuong’s song cycle, telling the story of his family’s escape from Saigon, plus Vivian Fung’s elegaic Lamenting Earth, complemented by Viet Cuong’s driving septet Pulse Train.
Emmy Award-winning composer and traditional musician Vân-Ánh Vanessa Võ will perform on instruments such as the đàn bầu (Vietnamese monochord), 16-string đàn tranh (zither), đàn t’rung (bamboo xylophone), and trống (traditional drums), creating music that blends the wonderfully unique sounds of Vietnamese instruments with other genres and fusing deeply rooted musical traditions with fresh new structures.
