The orchestra presented excerpts from many world-famous composers with diverse styles. The whole auditorium was immersed in sublime emotions. Sometimes it was the cheerful, bustling music of Pizzicato Polka by Austrian composer Johann Strauss. Sometimes it was immersed in the romantic and melodious melodies of Hello to Love by British composer Edward Elgar. Sometimes you could hear the sound of horse-drawn carriages moving on cobbled streets or the chirping of birds imitated from the clarinet .

Especially at the concert, the audience heard the work " My Hometown, Sand Wind " by musician Huy So, which was arranged for symphony by conductor Olivier Ochanine , to serve the people of Phan Thiet . A symphony was performed with all the pride and happiness. This brought surprise to the author himself and the audience attending , especially the young people.

The concert featured musician Huy So - one of the leading figures in the local arts scene. He is a talented and dedicated man to his homeland Binh Thuan. Despite his old age, when he unexpectedly heard his work again, musician Huy So was moved and emotional, sharing: “I was really surprised, I didn’t think my work would be performed. I feel very touched and happy right now.”

The space with 350 seats made the concert cozy , the orchestra played without amplification but the sound of the strings was still clear to hear every note. The audience was once again immersed in the immortal melodies of classic works from Europe, Asia... Gathering 38 musicians from many countries around the world and Vietnam. The musicians said that it was an honor to perform in Binh Thuan. And the kindness and warmth of the people of the coastal region has truly made this place a beloved destination for each member of the orchestra.

Conductor Olivier Ochanine – Sun Symphony Orchestra , shared: This is the first time in Phan Thiet, we have been warmly welcomed, in a friendly and warm atmosphere. I am very happy to perform today. I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to organize more spectacular performances in Phan Thiet city. Although it only lasted for an hour, the concert left a special impression on the audience, bringing new spiritual food to the people of the coastal city in recent days.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa - Former Director of the Provincial Cultural Center, this is the second concert in 20 years that Phan Thiet people have been exposed to the pinnacle of music - symphony music . The first time performing on an outdoor stage, the Ho Chi Minh City Symphony - Opera House brought symphony and opera to Phan Thiet. At that time, Professor - musician Ca Le Thuan, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, talked about symphony and opera, then performed. The symphony orchestra at that time performed many pieces , but the most memorable were the Persian Market by British musician Albert William Ketèlbey composed in 1920 and the musical Pearl of the Red Pearl composed by Professor Ca Le Thuan, Artist Nghiem Chi (playwright), People's Artist Vu Viet Cuong (director) based on the legend of My Chau - Trong Thuy. The orchestra conductor at that time was musician Tran Vuong Thach. I hope that in the future, when the provincial Theater and Exhibition of Culture and Arts is completed , we can focus on this art form to serve the public.

Mr. Vo Thanh Huy - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said: Musician Huy So was just awarded the title of Meritorious Artist by President Vo Van Thuong on November 28 for his many contributions to the cause of building and developing the nation's culture.
