Tran Tung Anh won the Special Prize in the contest to find young musical talents in China.
Still filled with happiness, emotion and pride when his name was announced as the winner of the Special Prize - Thanh Am Prize at the competition, the singer from Bac Giang shared that although he knew this was the result of his tireless efforts to practice and prepare for the competition for more than 3 months, he was still very surprised.
Tran Tung Anh said that the competition gathered a large number of contestants from China and many countries around the world, so at first Tran Tung Anh was a bit lacking in confidence. "The competition really had so many contestants that it made me a bit "shocked". Until I went up to perform, I still thought that the crowd below was the audience, but then I realized that the majority there were contestants. The judges worked very seriously, making me feel nervous while waiting for the competition, and I had to drink a lot of water. But I always told myself to do my best and be confident first for the sake of the flag. Luckily, when I went up to perform, showing my two instinctive voices, I heard many surprised wows from the audience from my international friends, and I became much more confident" - Tran Tung Anh said.
However, after the first competition night, Tran Tung Anh thought for sure that he... would not have to compete anymore, but unexpectedly the next day the Organizing Committee announced that in the Opera competition for young people, Vietnam had been chosen as the most outstanding performance to perform on the opening night, which was Tran Tung Anh's performance. "At that time, I was both surprised and worried because I... did not bring any more performance clothes. In my happiness, I quickly thought of cutting the hem of the suit to "transform" it into a new suit to perform on the opening night" - Tran Tung Anh said.
Recalling the award ceremony night, Tran Tung Anh still felt unbelievable emotions. The award ceremony took place at the large concert hall of the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, with a large audience and contestants, making Tran Tung Anh feel... "overwhelmed". While waiting for the award announcement, because he did not know Chinese, Tran Tung Anh mainly observed, until the end when he saw the Organizing Committee call out his name and the two words Vietnam, Tran Tung Anh guessed that he had won... encouragement. "I thought I had won encouragement because they were the last to announce my name, but it turned out that I had won the Champion award in my category. My initial feelings were truly surprised. After that, I was overwhelmed with happiness when I was judged to have a good and excellent performance. Until now, I am still very happy because I dared to challenge myself and tried my best to achieve good results, bringing honor to myself and to my homeland and country" - Tran Tung Anh expressed.
\A mashup of famous Vietnamese chamber songs: Spring in the war zone, The girl sharpening spikes, The bird that reports good news, The ferryman on the Poko river, and The Lo River epic performed by Tran Tung Anh on the Competition stage.
Genderless singer Tran Tung Anh competed in the Youth Opera category and sang a mashup of famous Vietnamese chamber music songs: Spring in the war zone, The girl sharpening spikes, The bird announcing good news, The ferryman on the poko river, and The Lo River Song . This mashup was arranged by Tran Tung Anh to suit his voice and musical style for the competition. At the competition, Tran Tung Anh performed with his two natural voices, a genderless voice and a real male voice. Tran Tung Anh said that when participating in an international competition, he could have chosen to sing international songs that might have been more suitable, but what he wanted when participating in an international competition was to bring the quintessential songs of Vietnamese chamber music to "show off" to international friends as a way to introduce the beauty of Vietnamese music to the world. And, that was also what made Tran Tung Anh even happier when receiving the award. "I am very proud and happy to perform Vietnamese songs on the international stage and win the highest prize. That is the motivation for me to try harder to contribute to my career and my future endeavors," said Tran Tung Anh.
Tran Tung Anh participated in the Competition at the invitation of Pianist Nguyen Le Thuyen Ha - Artistic Director of Polaris Art & Music School, representative artist of QINGYIN AWARDS MUSIC FESTIVAL in Vietnam. At first, Tran Tung Anh was very hesitant and thoughtful because he had never participated in any international competition, especially the first time competing in an academic competition like Opera. Previously, he often participated in entertainment competitions. However, after learning about the nature of the competition as well as competing at the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, one of the largest music academies in China, Tran Tung Anh was excited to try.
The moment Tran Tung Anh won the Special Prize of the Contest
Although he has competed in many competitions and often performed on many big stages, Tran Tung Anh's mentality during the preparation process is always one of worry and pressure. Because Tran Tung Anh is a perfectionist, he sincerely shared that he was worried about not winning any prizes in the competition. Thanks to that pressure, Tran Tung Anh has prepared very carefully from choosing songs, arranging music, preparing performance costumes..., especially practicing tirelessly with the instruction, guidance, and comments of his teacher, Master - Meritorious Artist Lan Anh.
Tran Tung Anh passed the entrance exam to the National Academy of Music, but after a period of studying, he chose to go to the South to pursue singing pop music and find opportunities in game show competitions. Therefore, Tran Tung Anh admitted that his knowledge of academic music was still lacking. However, with the dedicated guidance of teacher Lan Anh, Tran Tung Anh quickly improved and was ready for the competition.
"For this success, I am very grateful to teacher Lan Anh for her dedication and devotion to teaching me. I would like to thank pianist Nguyen Le Thuyen Ha for inviting me and encouraging me to participate in the competition. This is just the first step in my desire to try my hand at singing opera. I still have to practice more to pursue the music genre I love and explore my full potential. I hope that the audience will always love and appreciate my efforts" - Tran Tung Anh shared.
Following the joy of winning a music competition award in China, on August 2 and 3, Tran Tung Anh is honored to be one of the delegates from Luc Nam district, his hometown, to attend the Congress of the Youth Union of Bac Giang province. Tran Tung Anh said he is happy and proud to participate in activities in his hometown./.
