On April 28, 2026, at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi, the Central Commission for Communication and Mass Mobilization, in coordination with Vietnam Television and the Hanoi People’s Committee, organized the special art program Echoes of the Nation.
Held in the spirit of making national pride everlasting, the program marked the 96th anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and celebrated the success of the 14th National Party Congress, and the elections for the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term. It also contributed to implementing Resolution 80-NQ/TW of the Politburo on developing Vietnamese culture, reaffirming culture as the spiritual foundation and internal strength of the nation, “deeply embedded in all aspects of social life” and serving as a driving force for sustainable development.
In attendance were members and former members of the Party Central Committee, as well as leaders from central ministries, agencies, organizations, and the Hanoi authorities.
Part 1 of the program, which lasted nearly 90 minutes, guided audiences through three chapters that connected history, the present, and the future: “Epic on the Dong Son Drum”, “Echoes of History”, and “Vietnam Aspiration”.
Part 2, which lasted 60 minutes, was designed to engage younger audiences. The large-scale production featured more than 2,000 artists and performers, along with around 500 officers and soldiers from the armed forces. The lineup included both contemporary performers and veteran artists, accompanied by rock bands and a symphony orchestra.
Drawing inspiration from the Dong Son drum, Echoes of the Nation combined real scene performances with a variety of musical genres, including symphony, pop, and rock, alongside modern stage techniques.
A notable segment was the segment Peaceful Nation, which featured a parade and large-scale live performance involving over 1,000 officers and soldiers from the military and police forces. This segment not only portrayed soldiers in peacetime but also honored their silent contributions to safeguarding sovereignty, maintaining order, and ensuring social security.
The program also boasted vibrant performances by artists such as Tung Duong, Hoa Minzy, Duc Phuc, Anh Tu, Duong Hoang Yen, Nguyen Tran Trung Quan, Lam Bao Ngoc, Phuong Thanh, and Pham Anh Khoa, along with rock bands Buc Tuong and Ngu Cung. Veteran artists, and a symphony orchestra also took to the stage. Together, they created a shared emotional rhythm with the 40,000 spectators at My Dinh Stadium, spreading love for the nation and a deep sense of national pride.
