Workshops for Musicians
Brass instruments students and enthusiasts – buckle up.
The Hanoi Brass Week is back. Your brass instruments shall take center stage in Hanoi, and be appreciated in all their power, beauty, and complexity.
Hanoi Brass Week 2021 was the first brass music festival of its kind in Hanoi. Brass players from around Hanoi of all levels of aptitude and performance and of all walks of life – from the seasoned orchestra member to the brass students of Hanoi’s music schools, and amateur musicians with a passion for brass timbres came together. Despite the hardships of the COVID pandemic, Hanoi Brass Week 2021 brought out the best in all participants. Over the course of one week, they took part in online masterclasses and showcased their progress with performances of a rich and demanding repertoire.
Brass Week 2022 is again open for brass players from around Hanoi and of all levels of aptitude and performance. Internationally experienced and renowned trumpet artists and university professors Rainer Auerbach and Alexander Freund are coming to Hanoi and offering to work with brass students and musicians. They will also showcase their own virtuosity in concert. The workshop will highlight the brass and operatic music of Richard Wagner, musical titan acknowledged worldwide - yet woefully underrepresented on Vietnamese music stages.
Brass Week 2022 is organized by us, the Hanoi Brass Community. We cannot wait to share our music and passion for brass repertoire with our dear audiences and look forward to your participation and support.
