Do Dinh Phuong was born in Vietnam. His
passion and dedication to the art of the guitar
earned him the First Diploma in Classical Guitar at
the National Conservatory of Music and Drama in
Saigon, an honor that was unprecedented. He is
credited with introducing traditional Vietnamese
music and classical guitar to his beloved homeland.
His innovative arrangements of Vietnamese classics
for the guitar and romantic signature style made him
a renowned classical guitarist in Vietnam. After
many years, Do Dinh Phuong has returned to the art
of the guitar to recapture the music that forever
changed, shaped, and defined a generation.
