Meritorious Artist Quynh Trang, Director of the Vietnam Contemporary Arts Theater, said: In recent days, storm No. 3 (Yagi) has caused severe damage to both people and property in the northern provinces and cities. Responding to the call of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, continuing to promote the tradition of solidarity, "mutual love and support", "the healthy leaves cover the torn leaves" and promoting the power of culture to join hands with the Party and State to quickly restore production, support people to stabilize their lives, and implement the direction of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, theaters under the Ministry organize art programs to raise funds and support people in the northern provinces and cities that suffered heavy damage caused by storms and floods. This is a very humane and timely policy that the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism direct the Ministry's theaters to implement".
Artists are proud to contribute their efforts, through songs and art, to share the pain with their compatriots.
Meritorious Artist Quynh Trang added that we artists are proud to contribute our efforts, through our singing and art, to share the pain with our compatriots. The Contemporary Arts Theater will organize the program "Hanoi - The Years...", a portion of the ticket sales will be used to help our compatriots who suffered heavy losses due to storm No. 3 overcome difficulties.
"The program will bring the audience back to the heroic historical imprints and romantic beauty of the thousand-year-old capital. The special music night "Hanoi - The months and years..." organized by the Vietnam Contemporary Arts Theater at 8:00 p.m. on September 20, at the Hanoi Opera House, will be an emotional musical journey, from the heroic melodies of the resistance period to the sweet songs praising the timeless beauty of the capital. The profound melodies that once captivated music lovers, Hanoi lovers, Hanoi autumn lovers will be sent to the audience in the special music night "Hanoi - The months and years...". Meritorious Artist Quynh Trang said.
The music night program includes the chapters: "Hanoi - Those Days", "Hanoi - Heroic Moments" and "Hanoi Today".
Accordingly, Hanoians are always a symbol of elegance, gallantry, grace, sophistication, refinement... naturally expressed in daily life. That is why in the early days of Vietnamese modern music from the 1930s, Hanoians have always been an endless inspiration for famous musicians such as Duong Trieu Tuoc, Doan Chuan - Tu Linh, Van Cao, Hoang Giac, Nguyen Van Thuong with immortal musical pieces: "Cung zither of the past", "Mo hoa", "Gui gio cho may ngan bay", "Biet ly", "Dem dong"... which have portrayed the gallant, graceful and refined temperament of Hanoians. These romantic works will be performed in the first chapter of the music night.

Many historical changes took place after that: in the fall of 1945, under the leadership of the Party, the people of the whole country rose up to carry out the successful August Revolution, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam). In that "earth-shaking" revolution, the uprising to seize power in Hanoi had a decisive significance, promoting the victory of the General Uprising nationwide. The contributions of all classes of people, the great sacrifices of previous generations have protected Hanoi, a thousand years of civilization. And after "Nine years of Dien Bien Phu - The red wreath makes the golden history", on October 10, 1954, Hanoi was cleared of enemies, joyfully welcoming Uncle Ho's troops to take over the capital... These memorable milestones will be recreated through the songs "Viet Minh Flag", "August 19", "Ba Dinh Sunshine", "Hanoi Song", "Hanoi - Dien Bien Phu in the Air"... In the rain of bombs and bullets, the people of Hanoi appear full of pride, chivalry, patriotism, but extremely romantic, expressed through the classic works of authors Van Cao, Hoang Giac, Nguyen Dinh Thi, which are the songs: "Marching to Hanoi", "Hanoi People", "Day Ve"...
After the ups and downs of history, Hanoi returns to its inherent peaceful beauty, Hanoi - the capital of conscience and human dignity - where the noble and typical values of the nation converge, crystallize and shine with revolutionary traditions, patriotism, and the strength of national solidarity. National pride and self-respect and pride in the capital of a thousand years of culture and heroism; the outstanding achievements of the capital after 70 years of liberation, especially after nearly 40 years of implementing the country's renovation policy will be vividly expressed in many songs "Autumn in Hanoi", "A Glimpse of West Lake", "Autumn in Hanoi in You", "A Pink Heart in Hanoi", "A Windy Night in Hanoi", "Forever My Childhood in Hanoi"...
Among the songs written about Hanoi, "Towards Hanoi" is considered to be the most lyrical song. The lyrics, melody and images in the song exude the unique beauty of the people of Trang An. This song was written by musician Hoang Duong in one night while evacuating to the suburbs. He wrote the song in late 1953 and early 1954, when Hanoi had not yet been liberated.
Over the years, the song has always captivated Hanoians and visitors from afar when they set foot on this land. The song has been performed by many singers. Singing "Towards Hanoi" in the upcoming music night, People's Artist Thanh Lam shared: "As a child born in the land of a thousand years of culture, every time I stand on stage and sing this song, I always try to convey my emotions to the audience. I want everyone to feel the soul of Hanoi, the beauty of Hanoi through music".
In addition, the song "Nguoi Hanoi" has resonated since its inception and after 70 years, contributing to creating more strength and determination to win in the fight to protect the Fatherland as well as in building peace. Since the first night of resistance (December 19, 1946), by the Nhue River, looking at Hanoi "Smoke and fire rising to the sky..." in the heart of "Nguoi Hanoi Nguyen Dinh Thi" emotions surged, so that the heroic lyrics just poured into the music, becoming a song for life - becoming a priceless spiritual asset because the melody and lyrics linger in the soul of each person a love for Hanoi - a "beloved Hanoi"... Honored to perform this work, singer Viet Danh said: "The song praises Hanoi and the historical imprints with the people of Hanoi in the resistance war against the French. Through performing this song, I want to send to the audience vivid images of the resilience in the fight to protect the capital, the land of a thousand years of culture".
People's Artist Mai Hoa believes that the song Hanoi - A Pink Heart is like a musical painting of Hanoi streets with the characteristics of the thousand-year-old capital. "The rows of green trees with red leaves for many seasons/ The wind of the Red River rustles the waves/ Autumn passes through each small street/ Oh Hoan Kiem Lake, like a poem"... all appear vividly in everyone's mind, bringing a feeling of warmth and strangely closeness. "As an artist, I always feel proud to sing about Hanoi. I want to, through my music, contribute to promoting the beautiful image of the capital to everyone. I hope that, every time I listen to "Hanoi - A Pink Heart", the audience will feel the hidden emotions and love this city more" - People's Artist Mai Hoa expressed.
The music night "Hanoi - The Years..." is like a journey of discovery about the history, culture and people of Hanoi. Through the melodies of music, the audience will be immersed in the space of the thousand-year-old civilized and heroic capital./.
