VIETNAMESE-AMERICAN PHILHARMONIC (VAP)—The Vietnamese-American Philharmonic was founded as a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) in June 1995 by a group of Vietnamese-American musicians and music lovers from Orange County, California, with the purpose of promoting and maintaining the musical arts, mainly orchestral and chamber music. Since then, VAP has organized the Youth Chamber Orchestra and the VAP Symphony Orchestra. VAP has sponsored many concerts presenting Vietnamese and Western Classical music.
