The program "Hanoi Concert - Summer Music Festival 2025", organized by Hanoi Festival, takes the audience into a fresh, vibrant musical space like the air and spirit of summer.
As a completed piece of the "Hanoi Concert" series with the theme of four seasons, the "Summer Music 2025" program marks the complete connection between emotions and recorded music.
The program brings a joyful and bustling atmosphere at the right time of summer to put on familiar works in a new and modern symphony shirt, opening a new direction for Vietnamese chamber music.
With the message "New energy enters a new era", the program not only opens a youthful, modern approach to Vietnamese chamber music, but also reflects the country's spirit of integration in the period of development.
Hanoi Concert - Summer Music Festival 2025 also aims to expand the academic music community, by renewing familiar works, combining Vietnamese light music and Western classical music, contributing to building the habit of enjoying quality art in the public, especially the younger generation.
The program hopes to contribute to making fine arts a vibrant part of modern life, so that symphony music is not only present in a luxurious space but also spreads and connects with all classes of audiences, building a dynamic and integrated cultural community.
And for the first time, 4 Vietnamese music songs associated with the summer memories of many generations will be performed on a symphony stage including: "Bao ha" (Le Huu Ha), "Phuong Hong" (Vu Hoang - Do Trung Quan), "Ha trang" (Trinh Cong Son) and "Hat with chu cuon" (Thanh Tung). It is the intersection between the East and the West, between folk and academia, between familiar things and new things that create the unique identity of "Hanoi Concert - Summer Music Festival 2025".
Musician Do Kien Cuong - who participated in composing many works in the program said: "The program has songs that audiences have always been familiar with listening to these melodies and sounds from small groups, with accompaniment or beat music. But when performed with a symphony orchestra, the effect will be much better.
For People's Artist Tan Minh, this is a golden time for music making people: "The level of music enjoyment of the audience is increasingly high, the aesthetic taste is also sophisticated and the world is flat, music absorbs the quintessence not only of Vietnam but also of the world.
Now, artists have the opportunity to put on works of literary value, life value - whether from veteran musicians or the younger generation, that is symphony music. A form of music that is very familiar to the world, and is increasingly closer to the Vietnamese public.
