'Sweet fruit' from music business

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Director of the Center for Development of Contemporary Arts and Cultural Industries, one of the speakers of the discussion, acknowledged that in the past 5 years, the field of cultural investment - performing arts in general and music in particular - has been very promising. The proof is that the city has "blossomed" with a series of festivals and music events in combination with other performing arts, of which the 4th Ho Chi Minh City International Music Festival - HOZO 2024 currently taking place (in District 1) is a typical example.

This development has created satisfactory jobs - for workers and those who enjoy the spiritual fruits that music brings. Not only that, this has also contributed greatly to economic development and stimulated tourism, bringing Vietnamese culture and music to international friends, arousing curiosity for the next periods.

The speakers also acknowledged that the goal of developing the performing arts, especially music, from now until 2030 in Ho Chi Minh City promises to have amazing blossoming if the current rhythm and achievements are maintained better. This also sets out requirements for training and developing human resources to serve large international music events.
