Bui Cong Duy is a violinist who won scores of prizes, including the first prize and golden medal of the 3rd International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians in Saint Petersburg.

At the Europe Day Concert, he will play a collection of masterpieces by European composers including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Fritz Kreisler, Peter Warlock, Frederic Chopin and Ludwig Van Beethoven.

The concert promises to be an exquisite classical music's celebration.

Bui Cong Duy will share the stage with violinist Chuong Vu, singer Pham Khanh Ngoc and the orchestra of Vietnamese musicians.

In Hanoi, the Concert will take place at the Opera House, 1 Trang Tien, at 20h, Friday 11 May.

In HCMC, the Concert will take place at the Opera House, Lam Son Square, at 20h, Sunday 13 May.

Every year on 9 May, the European Union celebrates the Europe Day. The date marks the day in 1950 when the then French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman proposed that former enemies pool control over strategic coal and steel resources that had contributed to conflict.

Schuman's proposal launched a process of European integration, first in the economy and then in many other areas, that brought about a new form of peaceful international relations. Integration not only between governments but between citizens has brought economic advantages and replaced centuries of war with peace and prosperity./.
