In a summer of many positive changes for the entire nation, the program "Summer Concert 2025" is a symphonic picture depicting a modern, creative Vietnam, strongly entering a new era.

The program consists of 2 parts. In part 1 "Vietnamese music - symphony", for the first time, 4 Vietnamese songs associated with the summer memories of many generations will be played together by the symphony orchestra: "Entering summer" (Le Huu Ha), "Pink phoenix" (Vu Hoang - Do Trung Quan), "White summer" (Trinh Cong Son) and "Singing with the cicada" (Thanh Tung). The familiar melodies, once associated with the youth and memories of Vietnamese people, are now renewed by symphony, bringing a completely different experience, both familiar, new and full of art.

Two works, “Tieng flute que huong” (Van Chung) and “Ly ngua o” (Do Kien Cuong, adapted from folk songs) with strong folk colors were also impressively performed in symphonic style. In addition, the audience also enjoyed the work “Ky m u hau” – a new composition by musician Trong Dai.
