Quatuor Diotima Show on Wednesday at L'Espace Hanoi

An exciting concert by Quatuor Diotima, one of the leading string quartets in the world, is scheduled to take place at Hanoi's L’Espace on 8:00 PM, September 22, 2025.

The renowned quartet consists of four members: Vanessa Szigeti - violin, Yun Peng Zhao - violin, Frank Chevalier - viola, and Pierre Morlet - cello.

After winning the Contemporary Music Prize at the London String Quartet Competition in 2000, Quatuor Diotima has become one of the most sought-after quartets in contemporary music, continuing to earn prestigious awards throughout their career.

The ensemble has performed at many major concert venues and music festivals across Europe, such as La Cité de la Musique, Berlin Philharmonie, Casa da Música in Porto, and the Athens Festival. This will be Quatuor Diotima's first performance in Vietnam, where they are anticipated to receive accolades comparable to the warm receptions they have experienced in the USA, South America, and Asia, including Japan, China, and Korea.

Historically, French and Vietnamese music have experienced significant interactions. Many contemporary Vietnamese composers continue to draw inspiration from the music introduced by the French at the turn of the 20th century. The current state of musical interaction between the two cultures is considered vital for fostering new cultural exchanges while preserving traditional connections.

Tickets are available at L'Espace, 24 Trang Tiền Street, Hanoi, starting from August 22, 2025, priced at 100,000 VND, with a reduced fare of 50,000 VND for students.
