Honoring historical values and unwavering spirit.
Towards the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Southern Vietnam and the reunification of the country, a series of special art and cultural events will take place nationwide, recreating the heroic memories of the nation and honoring the great historical value of the day of national reunification.
The special art program "Song of Victory" - a symphony and chamber music concert - is organized to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country. It serves as a tribute to previous generations, a bridge connecting the past and present, so that today's generation may further cherish the peace and freedom we enjoy. The program will take place at 8 PM on April 25th at the Au Co Art Center (Hanoi), and is divided into three parts: "Aspiration for Peace," "Song of Going to Battle," and "Greeting the Spring of Great Victory" - like three chapters of an endless epic about the nation's history.
Following the somber melodies of farewell, the music is replaced by a stirring march, culminating in the radiant tune of the joyous day of reunification. Each song, each orchestral piece, is not just music, but also a story, a memory, and the pride of generations. The concert features Meritorious Artists Tố Nga, Lương Huy, Trường Bắc, and artists Đào Tố Loan, Minh Đức, and Vương Long; conductor Lê Phi Phi, along with the National Symphony Orchestra of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet Theatre, promising to be a heroic anthem recreating the historical milestones and glorious moments of the nation through the language of music.

People's Artist Thu Hien, People's Artist Thanh Hoa, People's Artist Quang Tho, and People's Artist Trung Duc will recreate timeless songs and melodies that have become symbols of a heroic historical era.

The "Spring of Unification" program, organized by the Department of Performing Arts in collaboration with the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet Theatre and other related units, took place on the evening of April 29th in front of the Reunification Hall (Ho Chi Minh City).
