With the theme "Paying Tribute to Soldiers Through Music," the concert transported the audience back to the heroic yet sacrificial memories of a time of bombs and bullets, when millions of ordinary people joined the fight for independence and freedom. They are the "immortal stone ramparts"—symbols of strength, solidarity, and indomitable will—who created the glorious history of the nation.

Each melody and lyric in the concert will recreate the image of young soldiers in their twenties who left for the battlefield with no promise of return; wounded soldiers who left a part of their flesh and blood on the battlefield; and mothers and wives who silently endured pain and loss...

More than just an art program, "Immortal Stone Fortress" is an opportunity for today's generation to remember, cherish, and remind themselves to live up to the noble sacrifices of their ancestors. Meritorious Artist Quynh Trang, Director of the Vietnam Contemporary Art Theatre, said that the concert was elaborately staged with many moving and humane performances, expressing patriotism, national pride, and the aspiration to preserve peace . The clear, heroic melodies will be conveyed by the artists with all their emotion and respect.

Participating in this special art program, People's Artist Hong Hanh shared: "Having been involved with art for over 30 years and bringing songs to serve soldiers and people throughout the country, I always consider it a great honor. Although my work as the head of the Army Song and Dance Theatre is very busy, I still have a burning desire to dedicate my voice as an artist-soldier to art, expressing my gratitude to the heroes who sacrificed for the Fatherland."

Expressing his pride and emotion at being part of the "Immortal Stone Fortress" art program, singer Duc Tuan said: "I will perform two songs, 'We Go to Battle Today' and 'There Are Such Twenty-Year-Olds'. During rehearsals, when I sang, I clearly felt the image of young soldiers in their twenties dedicating themselves to a great ideal and having unwavering faith in the day of victory."
