Through her rendition of the late musician Van Cao’s “Dan Chim Viet” (“Flock of Vietnamese Birds”), formerly known as “Ben Xuan,” she conveyed a message of love for the homeland and the aspirations of the Vietnamese nation. Her performance, in the style of chamber music, further accentuated the beauty of Vietnam and enriched the forum’s content.
