The Sun Group, based in Hanoi, has announced the formation of the Sun Symphony Orchestra, designed (according to the website) ‘to give outreach concerts to various areas of Vietnam, to maintain an active Classics Season featuring the standard greats from the orchestral repertoire, and to bridge the gap between Vietnamese/foreign listeners from all backgrounds and the power of music’.

The inaugural music director is a Frenchman, Olivier Ochanine.

Olivier, 38, was previously music director of the Philippines Philharmonic Orchestra.
