The national concert "Echoes of the Fatherland" - a large-scale political art program in the series of events "Proud to be Vietnamese" is expected to take place at My Dinh Stadium with about 40,000 spectators, gathering more than 2,000 artists, actors and 500 officers and soldiers of the armed forces.
The program is organized in the context of the whole country moving towards many important historical milestones such as the 51st anniversary of the Liberation of the South, national reunification, the 72nd anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory and the 136th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, thereby aiming for a message about solidarity, aspiration for development and Vietnamese cultural identity.
Holding the role of Music Director, musician Ta Duy Tuan is in charge of building the overall music concept, shaping the emotional flow throughout the program. He also participates deeply in the stages of music production, composing, harmony, arrangement and sound language design, coordinating with General Director Nguyen Trung Dung to create a large-scale art space, combining performance elements and political sentiment.
In terms of music, the program is oriented towards a semi-classical style, combining rock symphony, contemporary symphony with folk instruments and electronic music. Familiar revolutionary songs are renewed in harmony and arrangement, both maintaining the original spirit and bringing contemporary breath, creating a new face for political music.
The program has a duration of about 150 minutes, divided into two parts. Part I includes three chapters: "Epic Song on the Bronze Drum", "Echoes of History" and "Aspiration for Vietnam", recreating the flow of national history. Part II is aimed at the young generation, transitioning from memory space to action spirit and aspirations for the future.
The highlight of the program is the theme song "Echoes of the Fatherland" composed by musician Ta Duy Tuan, performed by singer Tung Duong. In addition, the song "Vietnam New Sunny Day" composed by him was also performed by a group of young artists including Nguyen Tran Trung Quan, Duong Hoang Yen, Lam Bao Ngoc and Hong Phi.
The participation of many generations of artists, from veteran singers to young artists, along with a large-scale staging system, promises to create an art space combining music, images and the element of performing armed forces.
According to the organizers, "Echoes of the Fatherland" is not only a national-scale concert but also aims to convey messages about the history, present and future of the country through contemporary music language.
