Not only is Vu Dieu Thao a passionate pipa artist and dedicated lecturer, she is also an editor and TV MC who has been involved in the field of culture and arts for many years. For her, journalism is a way to make tradition more alive and closer to the modern public.
Since her time as a student at the National Academy of Music, Dieu Thao has had a chance to work with television through VTV programs. She gradually asserted herself, became a familiar face, then moved to work as a specialized editor at VTC. It was here that she had the opportunity to combine her expertise in folk music with television work to spread her love for traditional culture - especially the pipa.
“Television gives me the opportunity to reach the public quickly and effectively. Not many people can do in-depth cultural journalism without a professional background. That is an advantage that I cherish and want to maximize,” she shared.
As a producer, Dieu Thao is behind a series of traditional art programs such as Vietnamese Melodies, with themes of xoan singing, cheo singing, quan ho singing, cai luong singing , etc. She always strives to be creative, even when experimenting with combining the pipa with EDM or world music, as long as the audience, especially young people, feel closer to traditional musical instruments.
“Working as a journalist taught me how to tell a story after each performance, to lead the audience from information to emotion. Artists today not only need to perform well but also need to know who they are playing music for, and how to play so that the audience can empathize,” Vu Dieu Thao shared.
Although she is no longer a regular journalist, the spirit of journalism still permeates all of Dieu Thao's artistic activities. She does not place too much importance on titles, but only hopes that the things she does, no matter how small, are still beautiful flowers that contribute to life.
