HCM City’s Youth Union and Youth Cultural House have instituted a free music programme on Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street to mark the 72nd anniversary of National Day on September 2.    

Veteran and young singers and dancers will perform in free music shows in HCM City starting August 30 night to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of National Day (September 2). 

The programme, called "Voice of Youth", will include three outdoor shows to entertain residents and visitors.

The first show will open on August 30 night featuring veteran and young singers and dancers from leading art troupes in HCM City and southern provinces.

The artists will perform with the support of several hundred students from local universities and colleges.

Revolutionary songs, composed by veteran musicians such as Phan Huynh Dieu, Hoang Viet and Pham Tuyen, will be highlighted.

The second show on September 2 will see pop stars and young singers like Dam Vinh Hung, Vu Cat Tuong, Huong Tram and pop bands like Uni5, Mat Ngoc and Sgirl.

Meritorious Artist Ta Minh Tam of the HCM City Music Conservatory and singers Thanh Thuy and Van Khanh of the Seven Military Zone Art Troupe will also be featured.

The show, HCM City - I Love You, will debut on September 3 at the city’s Youth Cultural House on Pham Ngoc Thach Street, before more than 5,000 students and young labourers. 

It will include music and song performances and fashion shows staged by young members of the house’s art clubs. 

“We will perform songs in praise of love, friendship, family and country,” said young singer Thu Thuy of the house’s Folk Music Club.

Thủy and her colleagues will also stage a show for nearly 10,000 labourers at export processing zones and industrial parks in the districts of Thu Duc, Binh Chanh and Tan Binh during the holiday.
