HÀ NỘI Highly acclaimed Armenian concert pianist Armen Babakhanian, internationally recognised for his powerful and authentic performances, will be among the featured artists at the Rezonans concert this evening.
The event, held at the Grand Concert Hall of the Việt Nam National Academy of Music, will also feature Lưu Đức Anh, one of Việt Nam’s leading pianists.
Together, the two artists will guide audiences through a rich musical programme, ranging from enduring masterpieces of the classical repertoire by Bach and Beethoven to vivid works that reflect the distinctive musical identities of Armenia and Việt Nam.
The concert offers audiences not only an opportunity to experience artistic exchange between Vietnamese and Armenian cultures, but also a rare chance to hear a world-class pianist who has earned recognition at prestigious international competitions, including the Van Cliburn Competition, the Leeds International Piano Competition, the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition, and the Dublin International Piano Competition.

Joining him, Anh has established a reputation for refined artistry and influential projects that have contributed to the music community in Việt Nam and abroad. He studied at the Việt Nam National Academy of Music, the Royal Conservatory of Liège in Belgium, the Malmö Academy of Music in Sweden and attended masterclasses with internationally renowned professors and artists.
