Description

  • The performance starts at Pham Thi Hue’s home  – a genuine Ca Trù musical artist. At the beginning, she gives a brief introduction of the vicissitudes of Ca Trù’s history, as well as the fate that draws an artist to Ca Trù. Pham Thi Hue is now the only person in Vietnam that can successfully perform Ca Trù vocals while playing the “bottomless stringed instrument” at the same time! The “bottomless stringed instrument” is called “Đàn Đáy” and exists only in Vietnam. By hearing about the life of a Ca Trù’s artist, you’ll learn more about the history of Ca Trù musical art and fully appreciate the value of this aspect of Thang Long culture.
  • After Pham Thi Hue and the other artists’ performance, should you feel the desire, you’ll have a chance to chat with the artists and even try playing the instruments yourself.

Pros

  • The musician can interact with the audience in English
  • The atmosphere and space are very traditional and inspires a passion for the music.

Cons

  • The musicians can speak English, but not too much.
  • The introduction of the artist is quite in-depth, but it does not really give a lasting impression on clients.

Information

  • It is more suitable for FIT clients (2-8 pax), so they can have a greater chance to interact with the artist. The artist can speak English to clients.
  • This program can also be arranged for GIT (maximum 20 pax), but clients can only listen to the artist’s performance because, with so many people, there is not really a chance to interact with the artist, as well as learn more about Ca Trù musical art. So, a GIT group may reduce the quality of the show/experience.
