Seventh Vietnam International Choir Competition opens in Hoi An

The five-day event has brought together nearly 600 domestic and foreign artists of 18 art troupes from seven countries from across the world.

The competition is expected to promote the image of friendliness, hospitality, and peace of Vietnamese people in general, as well as the local people of Hoi An in particular, said Nguyen Van Lanh, vice chairman of the Quang Nam provincial administration, at the opening ceremony.  

Johan Rooze, artistic director of Interkultur, which the world’s leading organiser of international choir competitions and festivals, hailed Vietnam’s experience in organizing such a competition since Interkultur brought the first choral competition to Hoi An in 2011, saying this year’s competition has attracted 19 art groups from not only Southeast Asia but also the Middle East and Europe.

He expected the 2023 competition would be another success to help popularize the genre of art in the public.

The competition will feature 13 events with eight grades getting underway at the city’s theatre. The organisers will present gold medals and certificates to winners of eight categories. Teams will also participate in a public performance, International Melody, and local performances of art troupes starting from 7.30pm at the Japanese Bridge, Kazik Park, and Ba Mu Pagoda on April 3 and 4.

In the 2019 previous competition, the Vocalista Angels, a children’s choir team from Indonesia, claimed first prize, while the Vietnamese choir of the National University of Art Education was awarded second prize in the mixed choirs.

Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport. While it may be a niche profession, Greenhalgh appears to be doing well and enjoying his role. Jasmine Lee, the match commentator, explains that an engineer, who happened to be a mas...

Vietnam fail to solve Singapore’s defense in goalless AFF Cup clash

Vietnam had a difficult game at Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore as they struggled to find a way through the disciplined and multi-layered defense of the hosts. The 2008 and 2018 winners, who started with a line-up including many reserved players, barely created a relevant chance in the first half. In the second half, Vietnam put several key players in and created more profound attacks. However, Singapore’s defense remained solid. Vietnamese striker Nguyen Tien Linh, forward Nguyen Van Quyet and midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc had many good chances to score, but all of them ended up in vain as their precision was lacked. Vietnam were the closest to goal when Nguyen Hoang Duc’s shot hit the post in the 84th minute. The 0-0 draw against Singapore still retains Vietnam’s top spot in Group B and leaves the door to the semifinals wide open for the two-time winners. The Vietnamese will only be eliminated if they lost to Myanmar from eight goals and Malaysia defeat Singapore in the la...
