Speaking about the National Concert “The Forever Thing”, Deputy Minister of Ethnic Minorities and Religions Y Thong emphasized that, held annually, the program has become an important cultural and artistic rendezvous, with a pervasive influence in society. This is the first year that the Ministry of Ethnic Minorities and Religions and VietNamNet Newspaper have organized “The Forever Thing”. Previously, the program had been maintained continuously for 14 years. In particular, this year the program took place on the occasion of the entire Party and people celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the country, further highlighting the sacred value of “The Forever Thing” in the spiritual life of the people.

In the recent context of many large, meaningful art programs, concerts, and concerts that have created positive effects, journalist Nguyen Van Ba, Editor-in-Chief of VietNamNet Newspaper, Head of the Organizing Committee, said that the concert "What remains forever" still affirms its appeal with many different, new colors.

According to journalist Nguyen Van Ba, the Organizing Committee always aims to preserve the core values of the program "What remains forever" - a place to honor famous Vietnamese musical works, performed by passionate and responsible artists.

Continuing to take on the role of Music Director of “Dieu con mai”, musician Tran Manh Hung said that, right from the beginning, the program had the mission of honoring the values of Vietnamese music in the language of academic music - symphonic and chamber music. Different from regular music programs, in “Dieu con mai”, national music, folk songs, revolutionary songs or lyrical songs are all conveyed in the language of symphonic music, creating a unique identity. This year’s program is the same, but there is something new in the works and participating artists.

The National Concert “What Remains Forever” 2025 will feature carefully selected and interspersed vocal and instrumental performances. Music Director Tran Manh Hung not only arranged all the works of “What Remains Forever” but also selected the performances with a purpose in space and time. It is a musical journey honoring the beauty of the lands that the liberation army passed through.

In particular, the program promises to explode with the heroic melody of the song "As if Uncle Ho were here on the day of great victory" by musician Pham Tuyen, spreading the joy of independence, freedom, peace and unity.
