Exhibition in memory of the late musician Thanh Tung

The exhibition presents to the public more than 100 valuable images, documents, handwritten musical scores, and many artifacts of the late musician Thanh Tung from the musician's family's private archives. At the same time, the exhibition also serves as an opportunity to receive many rare materials sent by friends, artists, collectors, and fans of Thanh Tung's music both domestically and internationally.

Through this, the public has the opportunity to better understand the artistic life of the late musician, from his time studying at the Pyongyang Conservatory (North Korea), his years of vibrant musical activity after returning to his country, to the period when he became one of the most influential popular musicians in the 1980s and 2000s.

Delegates cut the ribbon to inaugurate the "Legacy of Love" exhibition in memory of the late musician Thanh Tung.

Notably, at the exhibition, visitors have the opportunity to relive the musical atmosphere of decades past through familiar materials such as cassette tapes, vinyl records, CDs, audio recordings, and films featuring music composed by musician Thanh Tung, such as "The Upside Down Card Game" and "Hon Dat"... In addition, representative works by the late musician Thanh Tung from the 70s, 80s, and 90s have also been digitized so that visitors can listen to them directly through personal headphones at the exhibition.

Artist Vu Ngoc Long, Director of the Fine Arts Exhibition House at 16 Ngo Quyen Street, shared: “The exhibition is not only an opportunity to commemorate musician Thanh Tung, but also a way for the beautiful values in his music to continue to spread to the public today. What is valuable is that the family has preserved many precious documents, thereby helping viewers better understand the creative journey and spiritual life of musician Thanh Tung, one of the most influential musicians in the history of Vietnamese music.”

The public visits the exhibition.

Also on this occasion, the family of the late musician introduced the "Thanh Tung Foundation" project. This is a long-term project aimed at preserving, storing, conserving, and further developing the musical heritage and humanitarian spirit that he left behind. Simultaneously, following the exhibition, a street music program will take place on May 29th in the Hoan Kiem Lake pedestrian area. Through this, artists and audiences will meet in an open, intimate, and community-rich musical space.

The "Legacy of Love" exhibition is expected to be a place where the public can listen to, feel, and engage in dialogue with the beautiful values in the music of composer Thanh Tung. The exhibition runs until June 8th.
