Dieu Con Mai 2023: Honoring National Music through Symphonic Excellence

The 'Điều còn mãi' (What Remains) 2023 National Concert is set to be a landmark event in Vietnam's cultural calendar. Held annually on National Day, September 2nd, at the Hanoi Opera House, this concert is a prestigious collaboration between VietNamNet and IBgroup, under the guidance of the Ministry of Information and Communications. This year’s theme focuses on using the grandeur of a symphony orchestra to elevate and honor the rich heritage of Vietnamese national music. Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Nguyen Van Ba, the concert introduces several fresh elements, including Music Director Tran Manh Hung and the talented young conductor Dong Quang Vinh. Tran Manh Hung has meticulously rearranged and orchestrated the entire program to ensure a cohesive musical narrative. Conductor Dong Quang Vinh, known for his ability to bridge traditional and classical genres, is expected to bring a dynamic energy to the stage. The concert features a stellar lineup of vocalists, including NSUT Dang Duong, Tung Duong, Pham Thu Hà, and Do To Hoa, alongside the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra (VNSO). A highlight of the 2023 edition is the integration of traditional instruments like the Dan Bau, saxophone, and traditional drums into the symphonic arrangements, creating a soundscape that is both sophisticated and deeply rooted in Vietnamese identity. Classics like 'Bóng cây Kơ Nia' and 'Giai điệu Tổ quốc' will be performed alongside modern hits like 'My Kool Việt Nam,' appealing to a diverse audience across generations. IBgroup Chairman Nguyen Thuy Duong emphasized that while the concert is a non-ticketed event, its value lies in the emotional connection it fosters with the public. The dedication of the artists, many of whom perform without a fee, reflects a collective passion for preserving and promoting Vietnamese art. 'Điều còn mãi' 2023 is not just a concert; it is a profound tribute to the spirit of the nation, blending the academic rigor of classical music with the heartfelt melodies of the homeland.
