Over 30,000 join in singing at special National Day concert

The program was organized by the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Committee in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Ha Noi People's Committee, and Viet Nam Television. 

It brought together more than 500 artists, dancers, and renowned singers.

"Proud to be Vietnamese" serves to spread cultural and historical values while nurturing the spirit of "remembering the source" among people of all generations, especially the youth.

The atmosphere at My Dinh Square turned solemn as President Ho Chi Minh's words from the Declaration of Independence resounded, affirming every person's right to life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness, while also declaring the unyielding independence of the Vietnamese nation.

Immediately after, Van Cao's "Marching Song"—the immortal work that has been the National Anthem since 1945—rang out in a triumphant performance. Singer Tung Duong led the rhythm alongside a large choir, with more than 30,000 spectators singing in unison, creating a sacred moment brimming with national pride.

On his personal page, Tung Duong shared his deep honor in performing the anthem, describing it not only as a patriotic song but also as a tribute to the indomitable and resilient spirit of the Vietnamese people—eternal values that connect tradition with modernity.

The stage design of "Proud to be Vietnamese" drew inspiration from the legend of Lang Lieu, combining imagery of heaven and earth to form a "symphony" of origins and aspirations. The performance stood out as a meticulously crafted work of staged art, where music, light, and sound blended harmoniously./.
