Vietnamese Traditional Orchestra The Vietnamese Traditional Orchestra played its inaugural concert on 28 May 2009 at
Hanoi Opera House. As the name suggests, they specialise in
traditional Vietnamese musical instruments. The orchestra has performed at national events, including as part of the celebration of the
Millennial Anniversary of Hanoi in 2010 and at the 132nd
Inter-Parliamentary Union assembly hosted in Hanoi in 2015.
Hanoi Philharmonic Orchestra In addition to teaching, the Conservatory is home to Hanoi Philharmonic Orchestra, made up of faculty, students and other professional musicians. The group regularly performs at the Nhà Hát Lớn (
Hanoi Opera House). Some of its members go on to play for
Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra.
Vietnamese Institute for Musicology Founded in 1950, the institute specialises in archiving and researching traditional Vietnamese music. The institute was initially established as Division of Musicology, under the Department of Literature and Arts, which is part of the
Ministry of Education. The organisation was then moved over to the
Ministry of Culture and its various iterations. In 2008, the Institute of Musicology became part of Vietnam National Academy of Music. ==References==
