• PROMISING YOUNG TALENTS
Although they are all very young, Nguyen Thien Sang, Ho Dang Minh and Sumi Ngoc Uyen all have one thing in common: they showed early natural musical talent and had remarkable achievements in international music competitions.
Thien Sang, only 9 years old from Da Lat, has conquered the audience with his skillful technique and ability to express subtle emotions on the piano.

As for Sumi Ngoc Uyen, besides her talent in playing the piano, she also has an impressive ability to compose music. Ngoc Uyen was born in 2011, studied piano since she was 5 years old and by the age of 11, Sumi achieved a Crade 8 certificate from the Royal Academy of Music with excellent results on the piano.
Sumi also won the Excellence Award - International Youth Music Competition - New York (USA), First Prize - International Music Competition - Salzburg (Austria), Gold Prize - International Music Competition - Thailand, First Prize - Royal Canadian Music Competition, Gold Prize - Asian Beethoven Competition - Thailand, Gold Prize - Singapore International Music Competition; Championship of Nysa Talent Search Competition with 3 subjects including piano, dance and English presentation (Vietnam), Overall Championship of Pathway Arts Talent Search Competition (Vietnam).

The little girl has had the opportunity to perform for the community through charity fundraising performances with IPO - solo piano concert Noctune to raise funds for visually impaired students, solo concert Air on String to raise funds for poor children, charity performance for the Church in Hoorn, Netherlands.
• PROMISING FUTURE
At the concert, the 3 young artists performed solo and ensemble pieces such as: Ave Maria - Bach/Gounod (duet); Swan Lake - Tchaikovsky (solo); Grandos Spanish Dance No. 5 “Andaluza” (Dang Minh played violin, Sumi played piano); Zigeunerweisen - Sarasate (Dang Minh played violin, Thien Sang played piano)…
The audience was immersed in a wonderful world of sound, feeling the subtlety and depth in each note. The children inspired those around them, arousing the love of music in each person.
Talent is a combination of many factors, intelligence, heart and innate talent. Piano and violin are academic arts that require not only talent but also persistent practice, even taking many years to perform proficiently. However, Thien Sang, Dang Minh and Ngoc Uyen have surprised music lovers with their innate talent and extremely delicate heart to feel music at a very young age. The success of Thien Sang, Dang Minh and Ngoc Uyen is not only the pride of their families but also the common joy of music lovers.
With their talents and passions that have been increasingly proven, it can be said that the future of Thien Sang, Dang Minh and Ngoc Uyen is extremely open. They can completely become famous artists in the future, contributing to enriching the Vietnamese music scene.
The music night of the young artists left a lasting impression on the audience. It can be said that this was not just a simple musical performance but also a meaningful message about love, passion and sharing. We have the right to hope that the young generation of Da Lat will continue to shine and bring more interesting surprises to the Creative Music City of Da Lat.
