On the afternoon of June 7th, artist Quyen Thien Dac and the artists of Binh Minh Jazz Club created a memorable artistic atmosphere. When the lyrics of "Is it you, Hanoi's autumn?" were sung by Thuy Bui, many stopped to listen. Then, with "Hanoi's 12 Seasons of Flowers" performed by singer Minh Thu, the space seemed to expand with familiar images of the city: the lotus season in early summer, the purple crape myrtle season, the chrysanthemum season at the end of the year... These familiar things suddenly became the connecting thread for hundreds of people present in the same space.

In the context of Hanoi's efforts to promote the development of the cultural industry, build creative spaces, and expand grassroots cultural life, programs like "Weekend Music" demonstrate that culture will spread strongly when people are able to enjoy it and become the subjects of cultural creation.
An outdoor performance provides the public with an additional opportunity to access quality art in an open space. Older generations can rediscover memories of Hanoi they've been connected to for many years, young people have another cultural option for the weekend, and tourists can better experience Hanoi's spiritual life instead of just visiting familiar landmarks.

Alongside this, classic world jazz pieces continued to offer diverse musical colors. In particular, the saxophone performance of "Hanoi in the Season of Few Rains" and the piece "Remembering Hau Giang" by the artists of Binh Minh Jazz Club received enthusiastic applause from the audience, demonstrating the appeal of musical creations that bear a personal touch while still expressing love for their homeland.
After months of consistent operation, "Weekend Music" is gradually establishing itself as a community cultural space in the heart of the capital city. The program's success is measured not only by the number of attendees but also by its ability to cultivate a habit of appreciating art in daily life, bringing culture closer to the public.

Amidst the ancient Ho Guom Lake, a place steeped in Hanoi's historical and cultural heritage, weekend performances are enriching the experiences of both locals and tourists. From poignant and heartfelt melodies to a free-spirited and open-minded approach, music has become a bridge connecting people to the city through a multitude of emotions.


Perhaps the most lasting value the program brings is not just creating another weekend destination, but also nurturing a love for the place we live in, so that from the seasons of flowers, songs, and encounters by Ho Guom Lake, the identity of Hanoi continues to be preserved and spread in life today.
