Singer Ngoc Cham will hold a live show Giai Nhan 2 to celebrate her 20-year singing career and 10 years of producing the "Golden Age" series honoring Vietnamese musicians on December 1 at the Hanoi Opera House. The female singer revealed her encounter with musician Nguyen Anh 9, father of musician Nguyen Quang.

Director Nguyen Quang said the program will have about 20 songs by famous musicians such as Vu Thanh An, Nguyen Anh 9, Tran Tien, Ngo Thuy Mien, Thanh Tung, Pham Duy... divided into 3 chapters, corresponding to Ngoc Cham's career.

The music night was directed by musician Nguyen Quang with the participation of guests: Famous singer Y Lan, singer Le Anh Dung, Thai Thuy Linh, Nguyen Tuan Anh, Duc Tung, Hoang Luong, Lai Xuan Thanh, VK backing group, MC Le Anh, designer Huong Queen...

Singer Ngoc Cham also revealed that the program will have Toc Gio Thoi Bay (musician Tran Tien); Hoa Cuc Vang (musician Thanh Tung); Mua Thu Ngay Ay Tim Nhau - a song written by Ngoc Cham and composed by musician Vu Thanh An; Hen Do by Pham Duy...

These are songs by famous musicians, performed by famous singers, but Ngoc Cham said she is "not afraid".

"I understand that old music is very simple, it doesn't need technique or embellishment, the most important thing is emotion and feeling. Sing with your heart and emotions. I believe that I just need to calm down, stabilize my spirit, and not have to do too many things like organizing production, selling tickets... then I will do my role well on stage," Ngoc Cham affirmed.

Ngoc Cham also said that she "packed up" and went to Ho Chi Minh City to follow Nguyen Quang to study singing. It was also from here that she had the chance to meet musician Nguyen Anh 9, the father of musician Nguyen Quang.

Admiring the great and kind musician, understanding the concerns of composers, even their disadvantages in art, Ngoc Cham returned to Hanoi and decided to appear in the role of producer to produce the Golden Age program series. The program has organized programs to honor the contributions of Nguyen Anh 9, Vu Thanh An, Ngo Thuy Mien, Vinh Su...

As a teacher and an older brother, musician Nguyen Quang understands and appreciates those qualities in his student. He always advises Ngoc Cham to live more on stage instead of staying behind the scenes worrying about production. He would be very sorry if Ngoc Cham's charming, emotional love song voice could not resonate far and wide, reaching many, many more audiences.

He also shared: "In the past, my father - musician Nguyen Anh 9 once expressed that he really wanted to play the guitar for a singer who might not be a professional and sing his songs with all his heart, and did not like to play for a star who sang with technique. Many singers in the past, although not trained, are still famous today, including Ms. Khanh Ly, Mr. Elvis Phuong, Ms. Thai Thanh...

Academics are important in schools and competitions, but for the audience, singing with the heart will touch the heart. Ngoc Cham will reach the audience in that way. As for me, I do not think that any song is nailed to anyone or how. The composer also does not want the song to nail to anyone, they want many people to sing, many people to listen and many people to like.

That's why I also do the harmony part according to my thoughts and feelings. After 40 years of working in the profession, I have enough experience to be confident about that. The second beauty of Ngoc Cham will be very luxurious and concise. The music is well arranged, the orchestra is large, the staging is meticulous... all the elements to have a music night filled with emotions."

Ngoc Cham graduated from Hanoi College of Arts in 2009. She won second prize in the Hanoi Student Singing Contest in 1998, fourth prize in the Hanoi Good Voice Contest in 2002...

She is the director of the "Golden Age" program series honoring authors and works and has performed many music nights honoring such as: Nguyen Anh 9, Vinh Su, Vu Thanh An, Ngo Thuy Mien...
