On the morning of April 18, the words "Special Sacred Music Festival" on all posters promoting this program scheduled to be held in Tuy Hoa City were covered with a sticker with the words "Special Music Festival".

According to Tuoi Tre Online , the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu Yen province has sent a document requesting Do Film Media Company Limited, the organizer, to edit the posters in accordance with the regulations licensed by this department.

The above company complied and edited the content to not include the word "sacred music" which has caused confusion among the public in the past few days.

The source also said that there are currently no results of the inspection of the case where Do Film Company arbitrarily added the words "Special Sacred Music Festival" that was not included in the department's approval letter for the program, because it was the Hung King's death anniversary holiday.

The word 'sacred music' is very strange to people in the profession.

On the morning of April 18, speaking with Tuoi Tre Online , musician Nguyen Van Chung (HCMC) said that "sacred music" could be a combination of sacred, spiritual or cultural music.

"'Sacred music' is almost a meaningless word because no one has ever used this phrase before. Back then, there was only meditation music, not 'sacred music'.

This could be a way to shorten the name of the concert, but it doesn't make sense. The term "sacred music" is still very strange to those in the profession," said musician Nguyen Van Chung.

Previously, talking to us, Mr. Vo Hien Nhan - director of Do Film Media Company Limited - explained that "sacred music" are filial songs, talking about parents...

As reported by Tuoi Tre Online , Do Film Media Company Limited was approved by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu Yen to organize the art performance program "Incarnations No. 4 - 366 days".

The program is expected to take place from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on April 24, 2024 at Nghinh Phong Tower Square.

However, in recent days, the promotional poster for this program has "seized" the program's name in large letters as "Special Sacred Music Festival", while "Incarnations No. 4" is modestly placed in the small right corner.

The incident caused many officials and people in Tuy Hoa City to discuss because they did not know what "sacred music" was.
