The event offered an opportunity for music composers, musicians, managers and researchers of Vietnamese and international culture to share experiences in traditional music.
This is also part of activities to mark the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi and the 60th anniversary of the National Music Academy.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Dr Le Van Toan, head of the National Music Academy said that the event has contributed to affirming the development of Vietnamese music in the context of international integration. Many groups of musicians from HCM City and northern provinces will perform at the event.
Mr Toan expressed the hope that through the ICTM, there will be more plans for cooperation in the field of culture and music between Vietnam and international friends.
The ICTM will run through July 28 in Hanoi and Quang Ninh.
