On the evening of October 18 (October 19, Vietnam time), singer Ha Anh Tuan's Sketch a Rose performance took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles (USA). This is the cathedral of arts, where the annual Oscar awards ceremony takes place.

From the Esplanade Theatre (Singapore), the Sydney Opera House (Australia) and two concerts in Ho Chi Minh City and this time in the US, Ha Anh Tuan dreams of taking Vietnamese music to fly high.

"Singapore, Australia, and the US are all reasons for me to dream the common dream of Vietnamese music , to be raised high with pride and humanity in the vast world of humanity. I do not pursue my own musical dream to stay, but to live, to blend into my people wherever I am" - Ha Anh Tuan shared.

In America, he chose songs that have become a part of Vietnamese musical life for many generations, honoring Vietnamese musical monuments.
