Quyen Van Minh

Born: July 11, 1954

The excellent artist Quyen Van Minh was born and brought up in a family with a fine musical tradition. His father was an amateur guitarist and saxophonist. His mother, a singer with a wonderful alto, had to sacrifice her artistic career under harsh living conditions to cater for her four kids. As compensation, she transferred her love for music to her children, which had a special impact on Minh’s life.

As a child, Minh made his first steps towards music through the guitar. In 1969, he began to try the clarinet on his mother’s advice. “The sounds that come from your breaths, close to your heart, will bring good things to life and your own being,” she said. Inspired by his mother’s idea and motivated by his own determination and efforts, the self-taught, never having attended any course at the National Conservatory of Music due to certain circumstances, finally entered the school as an Excellent Artist and a prominent saxophone instructor.
