Boston Global Forum is proudly to be involved and greatly supports Phillips Exeter Academy’s “Peace and Innovation” Concert tour in Vietnam in March 2015 to celebrate the 20–years of normalization of relations between Vietnam and the United States.
The Phillips Exeter Academy Concert Choir and Chamber Orchestra will be presenting the Academy and the State of New Hampshire to come to and explore Viet Nam through music and cultural exchange.
Mr. Anh Tuan Nguyen, BGF Editor-in-Chief has sent the congratulation letter to the Phillips Exeter Aacademy on the tour:
“This is a special year for Vietnam and the United States as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of normalization between the two countries. How meaningful to open this remarkable year with the Phillips Exeter Academy performance tour that praises peace and innovation.
At the Boston Global Forum, we recently established the Young Leaders Network for Peace and Security to engage young people in international peace initiatives. Consider these students as special envoys sending powerful messages through great works of music. Their performance will inspire dreams of a world where only peace, innovation, benevolence and tolerance matter.
I wish great success for this tour and a bright future for true friendship between Vietnam and the United States.”
The School will travel the length of Vietnam, from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, performing concerts of classical Western music and Vietnamese folk songs in Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City.
