SUMMARY:Music – The Hope Choir: Spring/Tet recital
DESCRIPTION:(cover photo is the choir at one of their recitals at Cua Bac church)  \nOn Saturday evening 7 February the Hope Choir have a recital at Hàng Bột church on Tôn Đức Thắng near the Temple of Literature. They will perform a medley of folk music and songs to welcome the Tet lunar new year and they will also dedicate their performance to friendship in the community and for peace in the world. \nABOUT THE HOPE CHOIR. \nIf you have not heard The Hope Choir sing before you will undoubtedly be impressed.  If you already know them then they need no introduction.  They are a group of blind and severely visually impaired singers and folk musicians. They are amazing – not because of vision impairment but because they are superb singers.  The choir was formed about 20 years ago by pianist Tôn Thất Triêm and his opera singer wife Xuân Thành. What they have achieved with minimal funds\, limited conditions and very little resource is incredible. \nTriêm teaches the choir the meaning of each word\, they transcribe the lyrics into braille\, and sing in the language of that particular song. \nEveryone is warmly welcome to come along to Hàng Bột church where the choir has been invited to perform. Start time is currently TBC but its in the evening time any time between 6.30pm and 7pm.  More info on the time to come.* \nWe think they are probably singing after the mass taking place at the church. \nNo entry fee but the choir highly appreciate\, and needs\, donations no matter how big or how small. Every little bit is a great help to them as they rely solely on the community’s help. \nVenue: Hàng Bột Church\, 62a Tôn Đức Thắng street.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/c1wt4PkKigQuea849 \nNo RSVP needed but for questions or more info on the venue\, please contact*  stella@fvheritage.org. \nThank you so much everyone on behalf of Triêm and the choir. \nAdvance info – we also hope that one Saturday or Sunday this April two of our super lovely FVH friends will be hosting the choir at their home in Tay Ho to sing for the community  – more info to come.  \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
