Annual Fingerstyle Guitar Festival heading for Vietnam

Vietnam’s two biggest cities are ports-of-call on the International Fingerstyle Guitar Festival Asian Tour 2017 next week. The artistes attached to this year’s tour will be landing in Hanoi first and will play at the city’s Vietnam Youth Theatre on 18 July.

They will then fly south for a concert at the Conservatory of Music in Ho Chi Minh City on the following evening. Vietnamese guitar maestro Duy Phong is among the line-up of a quintet of leading international fingerstyle performers set to enthral the audiences on the two evenings.

Yamaha Music’s Akihiro Tanaka, Agustin Amigo from Spain and renowned Belgian guitarist Jacques Stotzem will be joined by the US’s Justin King. King is famed for his peerless blend of Celtic and Flamenco musical styles. 

Fingerstyle guitarists typically perform solo and have the ability to give a rendition of a whole three or four piece band. Tikkit Vietnam notes that the concerts will start at 20:00 on both evenings and music lovers wishing to attend can still purchase tickets online.

People travelling to either Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi for the concerts will find 12GO ASIA offers a service on a par with Tikkit Vietnam. On domestic routes as well as flights from the likes of Bangkok, Singapore or Yangon it is only a matter of search, compare, book and pay and then you are good to go.
