On the evening of May 17, on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2025), the Ministry of Public Security directed the Department of Political Work to assign Ho Guom Theater to coordinate with other units to organize a special art program called Ho Chi Minh, the most beautiful name of the person .
The program is directed by Major General, People's Artist Nguyen Cong Bay, directed by People's Artist Bui Cong Duy and musician Tran Hai Dang, and conducted by conductor Tran Nhat Minh. Participating artists include: People's Artist Quang Tho, People's Artist Bui Cong Duy, Meritorious Artist Khanh Ngoc, Pham Thu Ha, Bao Yen, Truong Linh... and the Green Wind Choir.
People's Artist Quang Tho performs "Praise to President Ho"
With nearly 20 elaborately staged performances, the program is a profound symphony of gratitude dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh - who devoted his whole life to the revolutionary cause and was a shining example of ideology, morality and style. Each work in the program is a touching slice of Uncle Ho's image - both familiar and everyday, and of national and international symbolic stature.
The audience was immersed in a calm artistic space with songs that have stood the test of time. The opening was the song "Praise to President Ho" (Van Cao) performed by People's Artist Quang Tho. At the age of 75, he surprised the audience with his ability to sing live with the orchestra, affirming his position as the leading voice of mainstream music, the root of Vietnamese classical chamber music.
Pham Thu Ha performs the song "Uncle Ho, an immense love"
Next, singer Pham Thu Ha performed the song Uncle Ho, a boundless love (Thuan Yen). The semi-classical voice gently and softly whispered as if telling about his noble yet simple, luxurious yet close, philosophical yet very ordinary life: " Uncle Ho, you are the most passionate love/ In the hearts of the people and in the hearts of humanity/ All his life he cared for the happiness of the people/ All his life he sacrificed for the Vietnamese people ...".
People's Artist Bui Cong Duy and Meritorious Artist Khanh Ngoc perform "Aspiration"
In particular, Meritorious Artist Khanh Ngoc - the leading singer of classical chamber music in Vietnam, performed the song Khat Vong (Aspiration ) (Pham Minh Tuan) with the guitar of People's Artist Bui Cong Duy, bringing many emotions to the listeners.
" Live like a river to love your roots/ Live like a mountain reaching for heights/ Live like a surging sea, like a surging sea to see the wide shore/ Live like aspiration to see the immense life... ", the lyrics of the song Aspiration depict many human life goals, seemingly grand but in fact, they are all simple things that anyone can do.
In addition, the program also brought to the audience the songs: Ho Chi Minh, the most beautiful name (Tran Kiet Tuong, singer Bao Yen), He is the belief in certain victory (Chu Minh, People's Artist Quang Tho and choir), Looking at the tree, I remember Him (Do Nhuan, singer Bao Yen), Singing in the Pac Bo forest (Nguyen Tai Tue, singer Pham Thu Ha), Uncle is marching with us (Huy Thuc, choir), Footprints in the front (Pham Minh Tuan, singers Bao Yen - Truong Linh), Vietnam's standing posture (Le Anh Xuan - Nguyen Chi Vu, singer Truong Linh)...
In particular, the program also introduced the song Ho Chi Minh by British musician Ewan MacColl - a work that demonstrates Uncle Ho's profound influence beyond the borders of Vietnam. The presence of this song shows that President Ho Chi Minh is a symbol not only of the Vietnamese people but also of the movement for peace and independence around the world .
