It is also a place to nurture talents so that folk songs can continue to develop, resonate further, and live on in the cultural heritage of the nation and humanity.
Coming from the folk song club of Ngoc Son commune (Thanh Chuong district), Ms. Vo Thi Van emotionally said: “Thanks to the former students of Phan School, I stood on a large stage for the first time to sing the songs of my homeland – songs that I have been captivated by all my life. And today, with this support, we will have more motivation to strive to preserve, protect, and develop the beauty of folk songs.”
Mr. Tran Van Thanh, from the Folk Song Club of Phuc Thanh commune (Yen Thanh district), shared: “This is a very meaningful endeavor because with the collective efforts of the community, those of us who love folk songs and melodies will be empowered to continue preserving this precious heritage of our ancestors.

That is the direction for sustainable preservation.”
