The information was shared by Mr. Nguyen Trung Truc (singer Trinh Vinh Trinh's husband) - representative of the late musician's family - with Tuoi Tre Online on the afternoon of February 22 to commemorate the musician's 85th birthday (February 28) and 23rd death anniversary (April 1).
"Trinh Cong Son's music needs a change of clothes"
Every year, the program commemorating musician Trinh Cong Son always receives the attention of the public, especially those who love Trinh's music.
Besides the memorial art programs in many provinces and cities organized by individuals and organizations that admire the musician Trinh, the late musician's family also organized many large art programs.
However, this year will have many changes.
Instead of art programs, the family will focus on other activities such as building schools, charity, continuing to develop the Trinh Cong Son scholarship fund, cultural activities and supporting art programs for the younger generation.
"The family thinks that Trinh's music needs a transition, a change of clothes to reach the younger generation," said Mr. Truc.

Series of commemorative activities
On February 28, the statue of Trinh Cong Son will be placed at Trinh Cong Son Park on Trinh Cong Son Street, Hue City.
At this event, the family will hold a small music night, with the participation of singers Duc Tuan, Giang Trang, La Anh Thu, and Tan Son.
According to the musician's brother-in-law, when he was alive, Trinh Cong Son was a teacher. He was always concerned about developing culture and education.
In recent times, the Trinh Cong Son scholarship fund and his family have worked with sponsors to build schools for ethnic minorities in Thuong Long commune (Nam Dong district, Thua Thien Hue province), Buon Ma Thuot (Dak Lak), and B'Lao (Lam Dong).
Thua Thien Hue is the musician's hometown, Buon Ma Thuot is where the musician was born, and B'Lao is where the musician used to teach.
"The school in Nam Dong is currently under construction and is expected to be inaugurated on the anniversary of the musician's death," said architect Nguyen Gia Phong (part of the Hoang Thuc Hao architect group).

This school has 95 students aged 16 - 40, of which 40 students study primary school under the literacy program for early school dropouts and 55 students study high school combined with vocational training.
After the school is completed, we will open more literacy classes for the women and mothers here.
The family and architects are surveying locations to build the remaining two schools, scheduled to open in 2024-2025.
