Stephane Gauger suddenly passed away this week. His relation to Transposition was that he, already in 2007 and 2008 documented the start-up of the Transposition program in a 60 minute documentary. It was a wonderful experience seeing that he was able to capture the spirit of the program already in its first phase.

Thank you for your dedication, Stephane! R.I.P.

This is very hard to write since Stephane Gauger was one of my closest friends. It is with great sadness that Stephane has passed away. He died yesterday in his current residence in Saigon from an apparent heart attack at the. He was 47.

6 days to go until the opening of Saigon Chamber Music 2015, the initiative that Transposition brought to the calendar of HCMC Conservatory. The spirit lives on!

4 internationally acclaimed artists and educators from UK, US and Germany come together in Ho Chi Minh City to play in a beautifully programmed recital, then give coaching in chamber music to a group of 31 young and eager musicians in an intensive schedule of rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals again, and workshops as well as masterclasses... A week in Saigon Chamber Music is an valued and beloved experience for the young musicians. And the concert they perform to the public is a memorable evening to many.

Saigon Chamber Music is made possible thanks to the support of HCMC Conservatory of Music, the Goethe Institute Viet Nam, and many corporate and individual donors who give affordable gifts and make a huge different to the muscial career of many young musicians. Let us know if you would like to help, email us at saigonchamber@gmail or leave a message at facebook.com/saigonchambermusic. Your support is much appreciated!

Very nice review of the new production of The Magic Flute in Saigon.

It was an unalloyed pleasure to see this revival of HBSO’s The Magic Flute in the HCMC Opera House last weekend. This time around we had an all-Vietnamese cast, but with the sung portions of Mozart’s opera, here given its correct title Die Zauberflote, delivered in the original German, while the spo...

The HBSO has repeated the beautiful production of the Magic Flute from last year, in David Hermann's excellent staging. This time the whole opera was sung in German! We are so proud and happy that the work of Transposition lives on as a unique production of the HBSO, showing that ten years of collaboration has indeed produced lasting results.

Congratulations to the opera house, the singers, the dancers, the orchestra and the management!
