○ NTDAO (Nguyen Trang Dao): Invited Composer
Born in Vietnam in 1940. Lives and works in France. In 1963, he studied under Messiaen at the National Conservatoire de Paris and graduated at the top of his class. He has received numerous awards, including the Olivier Messiaen Award (74) and the André Caplet Award (84). His works have been premiered by Radio France, Paris Opera, French National Orchestra, Hanoi Vietnam Orchestra and others. From the beginning, many of his works are inspired by Vietnamese and Chinese poetry, suggesting a fusion of the East and the West. While faithfully following the techniques of contemporary music, it is characterized by a powerful style filled with rich lyricism and passion. The orchestral version of the percussion concerto "Ten de Gou" (80) is one of his representative works, but he also has an opera "Ije's Child" on the theme of the massacre of Jews during World War II. There are also many dynamic large songs based on historical facts, such as "Tachi" (93). In recent years, there has been an increase in works that focus on the fusion of Vietnamese and Western music, such as the premiere of a new work in Hanoi and the music for the Vietnamese film "Pao's Story" (2008).
