Established in 2017, under the umbrella of the Sun Group, the Sun Symphony Orchestra (SSO) aims to become one of Vietnam’s premier classical orchestras, enriching the lives of the country’s people through music and bringing a new standard to the Vietnamese cultural scene. Through a rigorous audition process, the orchestra is comprised of some of the finest musicians from around the world and Vietnam. The Sun Symphony Orchestra serves as the nation’s cultural jewel, bringing international-caliber performances to its enthusiastic audiences. In addition to its Mainstage Concert Series, the orchestra is becoming popular for its chamber music performances and for its significant role in educating and mentoring the young people of Vietnam. Since its official launch in May 2018, the Sun Symphony Orchestra has already garnered a reputation for its consistent artistic quality, having earned accolades from prominent composers, international artists and eminent cultural authorities.

Under the baton of Maestro Ochanine, the orchestra has already collaborated with some of the most famous artists in the world including: Korean soprano Sumi Jo, British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, Russian violinist Sergei Dogadin and well-known Vietnamese violinist Bui Cong Duy. In 2019, the Sun Symphony Orchestra wishes to continue creating performances that capture the attention of people from all ages and backgrounds, a vision in which our Board, musicians, and staff believe. Most recently, the Sun Symphony Orchestra has partnered in an Educational Series with the Vietnam National Academy of Music, where the orchestra hopes to inspire the next generation of young people and to share with them their passion and knowledge in music.

Driven to build a leading orchestra of international quality, it is the vision and motivation of Maestro Olivier Ochanine and the Sun Symphony Orchestra to continue their hard work and pursue excellence.
