Vietnam was the host nation for ASEAN summit in 2010 and with their assistance, the Orchestra was founded. After fruitful discussion amongst the core members of ASEAN and with the support from the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, we have developed a new set of objectives for the future progress of the Saigon Philharmonic Orchestra As a community project, self-funded orchestra. SPO as the self-governed conservatory is supporting facilities and personnel. From 2015 through 2020, HCM City Conservatory develops the direction to train artists of orchestral subjects with a focus on group-working skills. Therefore, teaching-learning and practice activities are closely related to the operation of symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In addition to training of human resources for arts, we hope to use these very resources to contribute to building aesthetics for the community through non-profit performances for children and schools in the area. This activity is both an opportunity for students to practice and a contribution to bringing music to a wider audience more broadly and directly.

​

We very much appreciate and welcome the support and cooperation from arts institutions, culture and education funds and enterprises so that generations of performing artists of HCM City have more opportunities to promptly integrate into the music industry regionally and internationally.

​

We look forward to receiving assistance under the following categories:

​

1. Funding for education and arts performing to serve different classes of audience.

2. Sending artists from overseas to work long-term in HCM City.

3. Opportunities to perform, exchange, and train overseas.

 

The support for classical music will not only bring huge cultural and spiritual benefits to the community but also define the high class of the sponsors. Once again, we would like to deeply thank you for your continuing support. Hopefully, we can together contribute to the Culture of the country in general and the Music Performing Arts in particular.
