On May 22, a representative of the Green Wind Choir announced that the choir would be making its first appearance in Hue to perform a concert themed “Loving Vietnam 2024”.
According to the announcement, the concert is scheduled to take place on the evening of June 29 at Song Huong Theater, inside Hue Academy of Music, featuring approximately 22 musical works. The audience will have the opportunity to enjoy familiar melodies that remain captivating and full of surprises through new expressions and remixes with colorful nuances and many layers, including the songs titled “Bac Kim Thang”, “Mua roi”, “Ly Ngua O”, “Nguoi Ha Noi”, and “Xin chao Viet Nam”, etc.
According to the representative of the Green Wind Choir, the choir's journey is not just a musical one, but more importantly, it is a journey of inspiration. With the pride of being a community choir of Vietnam, the Green Wind Choir desires to embrace everything that flows through the souls of Vietnamese people, across all generations and through different eras, just like the flows of rivers carrying within them everything they pass by. And therefore, the program includes folk songs from various regions, revolutionary songs, new contemporary songs, foreign songs translated into Vietnamese, and even classical songs from around the world.
More specifically, the program will reserve hundreds of seats for children from social protection centers in Hue City, with the desire to bring them beautiful emotions, enrich their souls, and sow in them small seeds of kindness and faith in good things in life.

Previously, in mid-April 2024, the executive board of the Green Wind Choir from Hanoi had made a trip to Hue to survey and introduce about the concert project. The delegation had also visited the SOS Children's Village in Hue, where 60 orphans or abandoned children in extremely difficult circumstances are raised, and the Social Work and Child Protection Center in Thua Thien Hue Province.
The Green Wind Choir organized annual non-profit concerts in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ha Long in 2020, 2022, and 2023. More than 1,200 teenagers from social protection centers were invited to enjoy the concerts, of which more than 100 performed with the choir in the programs. The concerts not only are impressive musical gifts, but also inspire dreams of a bright future in the children, bringing them faith in good things and faith in themselves.
