His strong ability to inspire has helped him leave a deep impression on audiences and professionals.

The performance in the ancient capital lasted only an hour but left the Hue audience with many emotions. The auditorium was solemn and quiet. Greilsammer was completely focused on playing the instrument and turning the music extremely decisively. It is great that Hue is gradually becoming a promising destination for great artists.

Greilsammer shared: “This is my second time coming to Hue. The audience and cuisine here are wonderful. I had a session to guide and demonstrate for young students of the Hue Academy of Music. They are really talented and promising. Vietnamese classical music is gradually developing and rebuilding. If there is proper investment in facilities and teaching staff, in the future, a generation of talented classical artists here will be born.”
