Concert «Mỹ Linh – Uyên Linh» at SOL 8

   Two women of two generations, both classically trained and both used to big stages, choose a round-table room to sing close to their audience: Mỹ Linh and Uyên Linh meet at SOL 8 – Live Stage on a Friday in early November. This is the sort of evening people attend to hear vocal craft, not only familiar songs.

   In brief:

   — vocals: Mỹ Linh and Uyên Linh
— backing band: Bình Văn Band
— indoor stage SOL 8, round-table seating
— four seating tiers

   Mỹ Linh is known as the «Queen of Vietnamese R&B», one of the best-selling V-pop artists and the singer credited with introducing the professionally produced album with a dedicated team; she holds four Cống hiến awards and a Mai Vàng. Uyên Linh (Trần Nguyễn Uyên Linh) won the third season of Vietnam Idol in 2010 and has been nominated for the Cống hiến award four times.

   For Hanoi listeners who value trained voices, for anyone who followed Vietnam Idol in 2010 and wants to hear Uyên Linh fifteen years on, and for those who prefer a seated table to a standing crowd. SOL 8 in Giảng Võ puts you far closer to the stage than a theatre of the same capacity — a good reason to choose this night over a stadium show.

   Good to know: SOL 8 – Live Stage at 8 Nguyễn Công Hoan in Giảng Võ seats its audience at round tables, so study the seating plan before you pick.
