White Night: A Royal Russian Musical Extravaganza Exclusively for Techcombank Private Clients

Exclusively sponsored by Techcombank, this program is dedicated to Techcombank Private members, aiming to pioneer the connection and bring timeless cultural heritage back to Vietnam in celebration of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the Russian Federation.

For the first time, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Russia’s oldest and most prestigious orchestra, performed in Hanoi. Under the baton of Conductor Nicolay Alexeev, alongside renowned bass Alexey Tikhomirov and mezzo-soprano Yekaterina Sergeyeva, the two-night concert immersed Vietnamese audiences in the essence of Russian classical music. This experience blended emotion, technique, and tradition, evoking a familiar yet profound cultural connection for generations of Vietnamese who cherish Russia.

Mr. Gennady Stepanovic Bezdetko, Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Vietnam, shared: “On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between our nations, we aim to introduce Vietnam to Russia’s leading artists and ensembles. Many are globally renowned, and Russian culture and art have always resonated with the Vietnamese people. This event will deepen our bilateral relations, particularly in cultural exchange and artistic collaboration.”

From St. Petersburg, the artists brought the essence of winter and the timeless compositions of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov to the Ho Guom Theatre. Each note served as a bridge, narrating tales of Russia’s pride and beauty to Vietnamese audiences. This created an elegant, poetic atmosphere befitting an exclusive event for the elite—those with refined tastes and a distinctive lifestyle.

The event was not only a pinnacle of artistic performance but also a heartfelt tribute from Techcombank to its Private members—loyal companions on the journey of wealth management and sustainable prosperity. These individuals are not just financially successful but also embody civilized values, resilience, and a deep appreciation for cultural heritage.

Ms. Nguyễn Vân Linh, Deputy Director of Techcombank’s Retail Banking Division, stated: “Russian classical music, especially its timeless masterpieces, symbolizes luxury and endurance. This aligns with Techcombank’s customer philosophy, which prioritizes delivering exceptional value and benefits to our clients.”

The ‘White Night’ concerts were an exclusive experience for Techcombank Private members. Over the years, the bank has brought world-class artistic programs to Vietnam, including the 150-year-old opera Carmen and “The Seasons Ballet.” This event reaffirms Techcombank’s commitment to offering exclusive privileges, personalized experiences, and superior wealth management services, honoring the refined lifestyle of its Private clients and fostering enduring value.

Diva Hồng Nhung, arriving early at the concert, shared: “I feel incredibly fortunate to attend tonight’s extraordinary performance. Having visited St. Petersburg several times and witnessed the orchestra’s performances, experiencing this special showcase in my homeland feels almost surreal. It truly moves me.”

An international guest echoed similar sentiments: “I’m thrilled to enjoy Russian royal-style classical music right here in Hanoi. From the ambiance to the world-class artists, every detail exudes sophistication and professionalism, rivaling the grandest theaters worldwide. I’m deeply impressed by what the artists brought to Vietnam.”

While the two nights of Russian classical music in Hanoi have concluded, they mark the beginning of new opportunities to continue the legacy—a journey Techcombank remains dedicated to, alongside its clients, in creating timeless value.
