Saxophone artist Tran Manh Tuan, although in the process of recovering his health, still tried to participate in the concert commemorating the 24th anniversary of musician Trinh Cong Son's passing.
During his lifetime, artist Tran Manh Tuan had a close relationship with musician Trinh Cong Son. Accordingly, 24 years ago, when he knew he was about to leave this world, musician Trinh Cong Son called artist Tran Manh Tuan to his house to say goodbye. At that time, the male artist was renting a room just a few houses away from musician Trinh Cong Son's house. He became a rare artist to be with musician Trinh during his last days on earth.
For many years, musician Trinh Cong Son's family has considered Tran Manh Tuan as the youngest brother in the family. For 24 years, since musician Trinh passed away, saxophone artist Tran Manh Tuan has been assigned by his family to be the music director of major programs and has always used the sound of his trumpet to commemorate his elder brother in the profession.

Tran Manh Tuan said that every year, no matter how busy he was, he and his wife would arrange to burn incense on the anniversary of his elder brother's death. In 2021, the stroke made it seem like he had no chance of returning to his profession. The artist had to gradually practice moving his fingers to make his joints more flexible, and practice breathing every day like a newbie. There was only one thing the male artist did not need to relearn, which was Trinh Cong Son's music.
"After many years of playing hundreds of Trinh Cong Son's songs, Trinh's music is ingrained in my blood and flesh," said Tran Manh Tuan.
On the evening of March 29 and 30 at the Hanoi Opera House, Saxophonist Tran Manh Tuan will appear in a special music night called "Do you still remember or have you forgotten" to commemorate the 24th anniversary of the death of musician Trinh Cong Son.
The music night also had the participation of many other famous artists such as: Meritorious Artist Minh Thu, singer Duc Tuan, Bui Lan Huong, Lo Thuy, Tuan Hiep... In particular, the program also recorded the participation of two young "stars" The Thien (niece of musician Trinh Cong Son) and female Rapper TLinh.
