The German conductor Jonas Alber is remembered in Hanoi by the opening of the "Cultural Year of Germany in Vietnam 2010" with a brilliant performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Philharmonic Chorus Berlin and VNSO; he is also remembered by the Brahms Concerto five years ago. At invitation of the VNSO, Jonas Alber returns to Vietnam and participates in the upcoming Beethoven cycle of the VNSO.
 
JONAS ALBER has established himself as a sought-after conductor both on the concert podium and at leading international opera houses. His name is associated with benchmark performances of fin-de-siècle works, and his repertoire extends from the baroque to contemporary music. Today he is much in demand as a guest conductor with symphonic orchestras and opera companies in Europe, Asia, South America, New Zealand and South Africa.

The Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra (VNSO) is the acknowledged orchestra of Vietnam. Under the direction of Tetsuji Honna, it has gained acclaim and prestige. It is highly appreciated by the audience, the press, musical critics and colleagues in Vietnam, and commended regionally and beyond Asia. This year, VNSO is starting its grand Beethoven cycle which will continue until 2020, the year of Beethoven‘s 250th anniversary.
