Sharing at the press conference to announce the National Concert program "What remains forever" 2023 organized by Vietnamnet newspaper in collaboration with the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra, journalist Nguyen Van Ba ​​- Editor-in-Chief of Vietnamnet newspaper said that in the previous years' Concert programs "What remains forever" had great contributions from artists such as musician Duong Thu, conductor Le Phi Phi, singer Trong Tan, Dao To Loan... However, in each program, the Organizing Committee tries to bring new points to the audience to create attraction. This year's program, the main new point is the faces of young artists, such as conductor Dong Quang Vinh, female singer Do To Hoa... participating for the first time, promising to bring a new breeze.

"I think that, What remains forever beside brings musical values ​​and pride, it is also an opportunity for the Organizing Committee to introduce new elements and new faces to the country's art scene.

For me personally, when I took on the task of being the Editor-in-Chief of Vietnamnet newspaper, this was the first time I was responsible for such a large art program, I was quite nervous and worried. However, with a strong team, talented and skilled artists, I felt secure," said Mr. Nguyen Van Ba.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Ba, conductor Le Phi Phi has brought something special and attractive to the National Concert program "Dieu con mai". It can be said that conductor Le Phi Phi seems to be a "monument" in the program. The achievements and works that conductor Le Phi Phi has done before will be a source of motivation for young conductors like conductor Dong Quang Vinh to learn, add new things, and be more creative so that "Dieu con mai" can spread more widely in the following years.

Another innovation in the program What Remains Forever 2023 is that the Organizing Committee invited musician Tran Manh Hung to be the Music Director. For this year's program, musician Tran Manh Hung not only edited but also arranged, harmonized and orchestrated all the works played in the program. This creates a unified musical script for this year's concert.

Musician Tran Manh Hung shared: "This year's music takes symphonic music as the foundation but also needs to honor national values ​​and not ignore the contemporary element. I hope What Remains Forever 2023 will bring special and impressive emotions to classical music lovers in particular and Vietnamese music in general."

National Concert Program Forever 2023: Opportunity for young and talented faces

Invited for the first time to participate in the National Concert "What remains forever" 2023, singer Do To Hoa said that she was very proud to be invited by the Organizing Committee to perform in such an important program. "I have been very concerned and researched about the works "Kơ Nia tree shadow" and "Bright moon of two regions" performed in the program to best inspire the audience," Do To Hoa expressed.

Also at the press conference, conductor Dong Quang Vinh said he felt nervous and trembling when taking on the role of conductor in a national concert program. However, for artists, a little nervousness and trembling to express their emotions helps them to be more sublime on stage.

"This is also a challenge for me, because before that, the programs that Mr. Le Phi Phi undertook with classic works brought a lot of emotions to the audience, and were very successful. So, to say that I can overcome this will be a huge challenge for me. I can only say that I will try my best so that the works can be the most perfect. At the same time, each work tries to bring a lot of emotions to the audience. I will have to read, research the works, create the score, work with each musician and singer to practice and combine smoothly", conductor Dong Quang Vinh shared.

The 2023 National Concert Program "What Remains Forever" will introduce to the audience famous works that have stood the test of time such as: "Winter Coat" (Do Nhuan), "Lullaby of the Country" (Van Thanh Nho), "Homeland Melody" (Tran Tien), "Fatherland of Love" (Ho Bac), "Up to the Mountains" (Hoang Viet), "Vietnamese Birds" (Van Cao)... with new arrangements. This year's National Concert "What Remains Forever" will also introduce new songs that are loved by many young people such as: "My Kool Vietnam" (Thanh Bui) and "Vietnamese Hearts" (Phuong Uyen).

Through the performances of famous artists in the field of classical chamber music such as: Meritorious Artist Dang Duong, Pham Thu Ha, Do To Hoa, Pham Khanh Ngoc, Dao Mac; besides the voices of Tung Duong, the Oplus music group created a diversity of vocal colors.

The National Concert Program Forever 2023 will take place on September 2 at the Hanoi Opera House.
