Nhan Dan/VNA – The ongoing Hue Festival in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue offered visitors a feast of traditional music on the evening of April 16.

Pieces of Vietnam’s traditional music were performed during the Am sac Viet (Vietnamese Timbre) programme at Dien Tho Palace inside Hue city’s Imperial Citadel.

Local artists performed pieces in the styles of Hue singing and ca tru (ceremonial singing), while those from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City performed northern folk songs and southern Don ca tai tu singing techniques.

Later, the air was filled with the melodies of Xoan singing, a traditional ritual folk genre from the northern province of Phu Tho, and Quan ho (love duet) singing from northern Bac Ninh province.

Am sac Viet runs until April 18.
