About Us

Lạc Hồng Performing Arts Group was formed in 1988 by former music instructors from the Vietnamese National Conservatory of Music in Saigon and Vietnamese musicians living in Orange County. Our group's mission is to preserve, develop, and promote Vietnamese traditional music and dance throughout the United States. Our program transposes traditional Vietnamese music into the commonly known Western format so that the musicians of today can learn the music of their culture in a way that is comfortable and common to them. Our professors have found ways to bridge the two in order for Asian Americans to connect better with a concept they may not initially be familiar with. 

With over 100 members, Lạc Hồng is currently led by professors Châu Nguyễn and Mai Nguyễn. In addition to many performances in the local Vietnamese community, Lac Hong has participated in cultural activities throughout California, nearby states, and Canada, and other countries around the world.
