While previous seasons showcased nature through sound and space, this time "Love of the Land" delves closer to human emotions, from memories and attachment to one's homeland to the sense of peace derived from simple things in everyday life.

The program is divided into five parts: "The Field," "Flowers and Fruits," "Water," "The Forest," and "Love for the Land," connected by music , light, images, and stage movement to create a continuous emotional flow throughout the performance.
Sharing his thoughts on the journey of accompanying the program, General Director Cao Trung Hieu said he felt fortunate to continue being one of the members of the "true Concert" creative team for many seasons.
According to him, with the theme "Love for the Land," this year's program has a very different feel compared to many typical concerts because the team wants to convey a message about cherishing Mother Nature, loving nature, and living in harmony with nature. After the two previous concert seasons and a long hiatus since the Covid-19 pandemic, this return is even more meaningful as it reminds people to cherish where they stand, the place that serves as the foundation for life – the land. For him, the name "Love for the Land" also evokes a feeling of protection and tenderness, just as Mother Nature is always present to embrace humanity.

The program featured many beautiful images related to dewdrops, flowers, forests, and roots… The production team incorporated modern technologies and effects such as mapping and LED displays to enhance the audience's experience. He noted that composer Tran Thanh Phuong brought a unique style by blending folk music with modern songs, allowing familiar melodies to be presented in a fresh way through the artists' performances.
According to musician Tran Thanh Phuong, the sound of a symphony orchestra creates a feeling of vastness and grandeur, like mountains, forests, oceans, or the sky. Jazz brings a feeling of freedom and improvisation, like the wind or naturally flowing water. Rock can express the power of nature, such as storms, big waves, or intense energies, while acoustic music is intimate and rustic, allowing listeners to feel the warmth and peace of plants, fields, or windy afternoons.

One of the performances that audiences talked about most after the show was "Forever Relying on You" by author Thuong Tam Dieu Hue, performed by Pia Linh and Oplus.

The performance was like a small moment of quiet in the middle of the program, but it made many people easily empathize and feel closer to the song, leaving them with reflections and thoughts about faith and life.
For her part, Pia Linh was moved, saying the lyrics were beautiful, talking about how people cultivate inner peace. The song reminds us to slow down and spend more time caring for the things that truly matter in life.

While Marzuz brought a contemporary and profound musical space with his song "Deep Water," Ha An Huy and Thuy Chi made their mark with a poetic collaboration in their mashup of "Sitting Leaning Against the Boat's Edge - The One Who Stays, The One Who Leaves." The appearance of these young artists brought a pleasant, gentle, and well-balanced feel to the overall performance. Legendary singer Bao Yen's "Love of Trees and Land" in the concert added a rich and emotionally resonant experience.
Colonel and writer Duong Binh Nguyen shared his feelings about the program: “What impressed me most about 'Love of the Land' is that the program didn't try to create overwhelming spectacle but chose gentleness. In an era of increasingly noisy stages, 'Love of the Land' takes a very different direction, restrained, subtle, and placing nature at the center of artistic emotion. I think this is not just a music concert but also a cultural and humanistic message about the relationship between humans and the land, the environment, and sustainable values. What is valuable is that every element in the program, from the music and staging to the smallest details like the green plant gifts for guests, created a feeling of sincerity. That's why 'Love of the Land' leaves a lasting impression long after it ends.”
