SUMMARY:Music – Afternoon music recital – songs from around the world
DESCRIPTION:The Hope Choir are back the ‘blind centre’ at 21b Lac Trung for another afternoon of songs from around the world uniting in friendhip and peace and we are warmly welcome to attend. \nTHE HOPE CHOIR. \nIf you have not met The Hope Choir before you will be amazed by their singing. If you already know them then they need no introduction. FVH has supported them ever since they were formed\, they are like our extended family. And we do everything we can to try to promote their recitals and to gather an audience. \nThey are a group of blind or severely visually impaired singers and folk musicians. They are an amazing choir – not because of their disabilities but because they simply are stunning at what they do.  The choir was set up about 15 years ago by pianist Ton That Triem and his opera singer wife Xuan Thanh. What they have achieved with minimal funds and little resource is incredible. \nTriem teaches them the meaning of each word\, they transcribe the lyrics into braille\, they learn the songs from braille and sing in the language of that song – from Spanish\, Sri Lankan\, to Portuguese\, English\, French\, Japanese etc. They need the support of the international community to keep going; the Embassy community is traditionally a wonderful support for them as the choir sings at many national days.  Some of the choir come from families where 2-3 of the siblings are also blind. They come from lives which are very hard and yet for many they have made incredible personal achievements – even going abroad to study\, getting masters degrees. \nThere is no entry cost but we encourage anyone coming to give a donation direct to Triem for the choir.  Thank you on their behalf. \n3pm-5pm Sunday 30 October – we recommend you arrive about 2.45pm to get a seat \nVenue  The blind centre/bline massage centre at 21b Lạc Trung\, off Kim Ngưu Street.  (but it’s not mentioned on any map as a blind centre). it is next to Nguyen Dinh Chieu School. https://goo.gl/maps/bRaMfzGS4y3mMZr5A \nthere is an alley with 21b on the gate post\, to the left hand side of the school as you face the school\, go down the alley to the end is a white building and it is here. \n  \nPlease follow and like us:Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...\n\n	Related\n
