(Baonghean.vn) - In preparation for the 2016 Lang Sen Festival, folk singing clubs in Nam Dan district are diligently practicing and refining each performance to serve the people. Attending a rehearsal of the folk singing club in Khanh Son commune, one can feel the spirit and dedication towards this important local festival in every glance and smile...
 |
| From early morning, the sounds of music and singing filled the grounds of the commune's cultural center. The Khanh Son commune's folk song club, established in 2012, originated from the commune's vibrant community art troupe that had been active since the 1980s. Generation after generation, the tradition of folk songs in this area is passed down, cherished, and preserved. |
 |
| This year, the cultural program at the 2016 Lotus Village Festival has a new feature: instead of performances concentrated in the district center, they will now be presented in clusters of communes to better serve the people. Therefore, the club members carefully discussed and revised the scripts of the performances to ensure that the official performances would be of high quality and run smoothly. |
 |
| Mr. Pham Thuong Mai - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Khanh Son commune (in the blue shirt) and Mr. Ha Trung Duc - Head of the commune's folk song club are two persistent figures who keep the "flame" of the cultural and artistic movement alive in the commune. |
 |
| Ms. Le Thi Binh (Hamlet 8, Khanh Son Commune) said that this is the fourth year she has performed at the Lang Sen Festival, but she still feels the same excitement and emotion. Although she is experienced on stage, she still attends rehearsals regularly and seriously because "singing at the Lang Sen Festival evokes so many emotions; it's both honorable, proud, and sacred..." |
 |
| Discussion of the movements for the opening dance performance of the program. It is known that the Khanh Son commune folk singing club will present two performances: "Forever Beautiful at 20," a musical story about the life of Comrade Nguyen Tiem, and "Pilgrimage to Uncle Ho's Hometown." |
 |
| In the dance and song performance "Forever Beautiful at 20," which recreates the life of Comrade Nguyen Tiem, a son of Nam Trung commune (Nam Dan district) and the first Party Secretary of Nghe An province, many props were used to express artistic intentions. |
 |
| The club's "visual director" meticulously guides the amateur actors through each movement. |
 |
| In the performance "Pilgrimage to Uncle Ho's Homeland," the image of lotus flowers is the artistic highlight throughout, recreating the simple, peaceful village scene of the President's birthplace... |
 |
| The amateur performers, who are members of the Youth Union in Khanh Son commune, are very enthusiastic about performing to welcome the Lang Sen Festival. For them, performing for the Lang Sen Festival is a great source of happiness and pride... |
