Musician Viet Anh shares with the audience.

Previously, Viet Anh often focused on concise melodies and familiar lyrics. Now, he composes freely, with less restrictions on rhythm or harmony.

"I don't just write about nostalgia, sadness in love, and human destiny, but instead I write about newer topics like optimism, healing, and being in harmony with nature," he said.

Singer Tran Minh Dung takes the audience back to memories with famous songs by musician Viet Anh such as "Waiting for you, brothers" and "At the end of the pine trees".

Le Hieu shows maturity in voice and emotional growth when singing Viet Anh's new composition.

In particular, the new song "Finding You in Endless Sad Years " written by musician Viet Anh specifically for Le Hieu was also introduced to the audience.

Viet Anh said writing this song is quite special because he wanted to dedicate it to himself. There were times in his life, when he experienced many things, he saw the things in front of him as just a limitless horizon.

"It's a feeling of constant longing, urging me to write even though it's lonely. I found harmony in Le Hieu's voice and let him perform," he said.
