On May 14, Russian art was discussed at the Russian Center of Ho Chi Minh City University of Pedagogy.
Russian Center traditionally hosts meetings with Vietnamese students of Russian language faculties dedicated to the life and work of outstanding representatives of Russian art of the 19th century. This time the students got acquainted with the work of the great Russian composer, known all over the world - Pyotr Tchaikovsky - and no less famous Russian artist - Isaac Levitan.
3rd year students prepared presentations about the work of Tchaikovsky and Levitan and presented them to their audience with translation into Vietnamese.
Students also watched fragments of the Swan Lake ballet and got acquainted with other musical works by Tchaikovsky. The legacy of the outstanding Russian composer is represented by different genres: he wrote ten operas, three ballets, seven symphonies, 104 romances, a number of symphonic works, concertos and chamber-instrumental ensembles, choral compositions, cantatas, piano miniatures and piano cycles.
Students met with the work of Isaac Levitan for the first time and looked with great interest at the paintings of the artist, which are exhibited in the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Young Vietnamese for the first time made a virtual tour of the halls of the Russian Museum.
