These are all historical sites associated with important milestones in the life and career of President Ho Chi Minh .

At each point, a touching story about Uncle Ho is told in the most authentic way. During that musical journey, the audience will have the opportunity to "visit" the three-room house where the boy Nguyen Sinh Cung cried at birth at the Kim Lien relic site (Nghe An); or "stop" at Coc Bo cave (Cao Bang) with many relics associated with Uncle Ho's activities from 1941 - 1945.

It could also be a touching story about Uncle Ho's sandals - one of many mementos of President Ho Chi Minh, which he often jokingly called "thousand-mile sandals".

Throughout the program, music will be the connecting thread and convey the content with songs praising President Ho Chi Minh such as the symphony poem excerpt "The person who returns brings joy"; "Listening to the boat singing at night, remembering Uncle Ho"; "Ho Chi Minh's song" (also known as "Ballad of Ho Chi Minh"); "Singing in the Pac Bo forest"; "Uncle Ho's sandals"...

Through the semi-classical performance format, the harmonious combination of chamber orchestra and light band, the program is performed live on the scene and promises to bring special emotions to the audience because of its high artistic quality, mixed with academic music elements.
