Identical twins Peter and Zoltan Katona will perform nine compositions, including Bach's Allemande aus der French Suite No 5 and the Beatles' Come Together.


The duo studied both individually and as a guitar duo in Budapest and Frankfurt, and at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

In 1993, they won first prize at the most prestigious guitar-duo competition in Montelimar, France, and then won a series of awards at international guitar-duo competitions.

The musicians have given recitals in the major concert venues including the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow, and the Philharmonie in Berlin.

The concert, organised by the Goethe Institute in Viet Nam, will begin at 7pm. The conservatory is at 112 Nguyen Du Street in District 1.

Free tickets can be picked beginning this Saturday at the Goethe Institute in HCM City at Street No 1, Do Thanh Housing Estate, District 3.
