An Tran: A Young Saxophone Talent's Emotional Journey at Dieu Con Mai

The rehearsals for the 'Điều còn mãi' 2023 National Concert have been filled with moments of intense focus and artistic inspiration. Among the standout performers is An Tran, the talented daughter of legendary saxophonist Tran Manh Tuan. At just 19 years old and currently studying at the Berklee College of Music, An Tran is the youngest artist in this year's lineup. Her participation in the concert is a significant milestone, as she takes on the solo performance of the beloved piece 'Mẹ yêu con' by Nguyen Van Tý. During the rehearsals at the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra headquarters, An Tran shared her initial nerves about working with seasoned professionals. However, with the encouragement of Music Director Tran Manh Hung and the welcoming atmosphere of the orchestra, she quickly found her rhythm and 'phiêu' (flowed) with the music. Tran Manh Hung praised her as a 'hổ phụ sinh hổ tử' (gifted child of a gifted father), noting her exceptional technical skills and innate musicality. To participate in this prestigious event on Vietnam's National Day, An Tran even delayed her return flight to the US, a decision she describes as 'absolutely right' because of the immense happiness she feels while performing. The concert aims to 'rejuvenate' its audience by featuring young talents like An Tran, bridging the gap between traditional symphonic music and the younger generation. The rehearsal sessions also saw familiar faces like Pham Thu Ha, Dao Mac, and Do To Hoa, all working tirelessly to perfect their performances. The 2023 program, which includes rearranged classics and modern hits, is designed to be a seamless narrative of national pride. An Tran's saxophone solo is expected to be one of the most emotional highlights of the show, symbolizing the continuation of a musical legacy and the bright future of Vietnamese artistry.
