(Baonghean.vn) -The soulful music night "16 years of remembering Trinh Cong Son" was held by Trinh music lovers in Vinh city on the evening of April 1 to commemorate the anniversary of his death.

In the music night that took place on the evening of April 1, in addition to professional singers, there were also many amateur artists from inside and outside the province. They were journalists, teachers, students… who had a passion for Trinh’s music and had been involved with this music genre for many years.

Through the simple and emotional performances, the audience at the show relived 16 immortal love songs of the late musician Trinh Cong Son such as: Calling the names of the four seasons, Faded, Four seasons of changing leaves, Thanksgiving, Please let the sun sleep peacefully...

In particular, with the two songs "Like a farewell" and "Lullaby for you, each finger of warm spring", singer Mai Huong (daughter of Meritorious Artist Song Thao) brought profound and emotional moments to the program.

Although living and working in Hanoi, when invited to participate in the music night, singer Mai Huong (daughter of Meritorious Artist Song Thao) participated as the opening performer of the program. She said: "Like a farewell" somehow clearly expressed the spirit of Trinh Cong Son - an artist who always carried within himself confusion and anxiety because he felt the breakup, the moment of separation right in the meeting or reunion, followed by the uncertainty of happiness, love or human life.

The opening with this song, as an implication to everyone, separation is the nature of life. So, live each minute together, live it to the fullest, live as if you will die tomorrow.

As one of the people who initiated the organization of the music night, journalist Tran Hoai (People's Army Newspaper) shared: "Each person's life is marked by two important days, the day of birth and the day of departure to nothingness. When talking about Trinh Cong Son, people often mention the day he left, returning to dust. I see that very few people are remembered in such a capacity on the day of departure.

That is why we - a group of Vinh City residents working in different jobs - feel and want to preserve the days we are living here with memories. None of us are really professional singers, so we have united to organize a music night to commemorate the respected musician. To be grateful to him, to remember him. Because his songs still bring us many necessary things, no less than food, clothing, and money!

Let's give each other everything, happiness and pain, with sharing, sympathy and understanding. There, we will see the immensity of human love"./.
