France host Vietnamese traditional aired

    
A Vietnamese traditional music show was held in Orsay, France on November 21 by OCTAVE, an association for Vietnamese culture and traditional music in Orsay.

The show attracted the participation of 25 Vietnamese non-professional musicians and performers and many French people who are friends of Vietnam. The director of the show was Nguyet Anh, the chairwoman of OCTAVE.

OCTAVE was founded in 2007 with 50 members and conducts various activities including shows and classes for Vietnamese traditional music.

The association has also organised Vietnamese language classes and cooking classes for foreigners. All members are volunteers and all funds are used to assist poor children, pupils and students in Vietnam.
