Review Body: The GOm show was absolutely beautiful and surpassed all our expectations. It was almost unbelievable that instruments made with ceramics produced the music they did. The sound was great, the musicians were fabulous, and the performance was surreal. They even had a small exhibition space outside to familiarise the audience with the instruments and experience playing notes on some of the ceramics. I would highly recommend this show. It is a short, high quality, 1 hour performance and a must do experience especially if you’re a music enthusiast. Booking it on Seek Sophie was very easy and the whole process up until being seated was seamless with absolutely no hiccups. You can also meet the musicians after the performance is done!

Review Body: This was an incredible experience — a group of passionate musicians who cherish and celebrate Vietnam’s history and culture and bring you along on the journey. I was moved to tears a few times by the beauty of this production. It is presented with heart and soul. The lighting and stage production is superb as well. It is heartening to see such a young group of musicians carrying the best of Vietnamese music forward with pride and joy. They curate a thoughtful experience for you from the moment you walk in the door to the time you leave. I envision a bright future for this talented group of musicians and highly recommend it for people from all over the world! Well done!!!!

Review Body: Delicate yet fantastical tones that resonated with the soul. The performers all looked so joyful as they played, and that happiness was contagious for us in the audience too. If there were a CD or DVD available, I would definitely buy it — I was so captivated that I’d love to keep listening even after returning home.

Review Body: I didn't expect the show to be this amazing. The music is marvellous and omg THE INSTRUMENTS are so GENIUS it actually blew my mind. I asked the crew and they said it was newly handcrafted instruments using vases and jars. See you again when I get the chance to visit Vietnam next time :) !

Incredibly moving & heartfelt performance about the sounds & stories of Vietnam
This is a really moving and heartfelt performance that weaves together Vietnamese folk songs, storytelling and history. Told entirely through sound, it uses clay instruments made from traditional Vietnamese pottery - jars, pots, and vases transformed into drums, strings, and gongs. The tones these ceramics produce are delicate, surreal and deeply resonant.What we really love about this show is the heart and research behind it. Over 12 years, the artists tracked down and pieced together forgotten folk songs from Vietnam’s ethnic communities. Some were nearly lost - one Hà Nhì song was even found in a French archive and only understood after a 90-year-old elder helped translate it. The performers themselves are a group of young and passionate musicians who take great pride in Vietnam's history and culture. Their happiness is infectious, and as an audience member, you can't help but feel like you're part of this emotional musical journey with them.This is a must-experience for music enthusiasts or anyone looking for something different to do in Hanoi! The show feels intimate, with a relaxed, backstage vibe: before the performance, you can explore a small exhibition of the instruments and artworks, and afterward, there’s a chance to meet the performers in a casual, welcoming setting.What to ExpectBegin the evening with a mini exhibition showcasing ceramic instruments and original artworksEnjoy a 75-minute live performance blending Vietnamese heritage, music, and storytellingExperience rare instruments like the “Chum Drum” - made from clay jars and motorbike tyresHear revived folk melodies from M’nông, Lô Lô, Hà Nhì and other ethnic communitiesWrap up with a casual photo session and chat with the performersTicket TiersStandard Đàn Niêu Zone (800.000 VND per adult, 600.000 VND per kid) - Located on the outermost edges of the seating area, yet still true to the spirit of the show - simple, warm, and welcoming.Add-on Trống Lãng Zone (additional 200.000 per adult, 200.000 VND for kids from the standard price) - Balanced view, clear sound, and a comfortable, well-rounded experience.Add-on Trống Chum Zone (additional 400.000 per adult, 400.000 per kid from the standard price) - Best zone, center seats – full immersion in sound, light, and emotion.Good to KnowShow is from 7:30PM to 9:30PM, including exhibition, performance, and a light post-show interactionLocated centrally at the edge of Hoan Kiem Lake - ideal for an evening in HanoiThere is no dialogue; suitable for all nationalities and agesSeating is arranged on a “first booked – first served” basis.
