Heritage Space hosts music night Our Youth+

The music night Our Youth+ will feature songs by famous songwriters Thanh Tùng and Trịnh Công Sơn.

Heritage Space will host a night of music featuring songs by two Vietnamese famous songwriters Thanh Tùng and Trịnh Công Sơn on Sunday, July 8.

Entitled Our Youth+, the concert will be presented by singer Mai Trang, Phương Mai, Việt Long, Vân Hà and the band Tequila.

According to the organiser, the concert was inspired by the feeling that, before we know it, youth has passed us by. In the blink of an eye, everything turns into memories. How lucky it is that the songs, embedded with emotions and feelings, are still here, reminding people of the most beautiful time of their lives.

To many, the music they listened to when they were young follows them for the rest of their lives. Even to those who don’t spend much time on music, these melodies of youth still resound from within.

At the same time, to lend a helping hand to those affected by the horrendous recent floods in the mountainous northern region, Heritage Space will send 20 per cent of the profits from the music night to the Flood Prevention Fund by Nhà Chống Lũ project.

The entrance fee is VNĐ200,000 or 300,000 depending on when you purchase tickets. The music night starts at 8pm. Heritage Space is located on the first floor of Dolphin Plaza at 28 Trần Bình Street, Mỹ Đình 2. Hotline: 090 282 6769.
