Saxophonist Tran Manh Tuan, music editor for the series of six concerts in Hanoi, Hue, and HCM City, said the organisers hope to get permission to perform the three previously unreleased songs, Xin Cam On, Tung Chut Huong Cua Doi and Toi Se Nho.
Singer Trinh Vinh Trinh, Son's younger sister, said if she is in good health she would sing Toi Se Nho, the song he composed in 1980, to express her gratitude to audiences and singers who love her brother's music.
According to the programme's director Pham Hoang Nam, the Bong Nui concert which will be organised at HCM City Opera House and Hanoi Opera House on March 18 and 25, respectively, will be simple but poignant. The late musician will conduct the programme through documentaries about himself.
Two of the music programmes will be organised free of charge especially for students in Hanoi National University and HCM City National University with two more free concerts for the public in Hue and HCM City's Binh Quoi Tourist Park.
"When my brother was still alive, he always had music activities with students, so the free music programmes for students in Hue , Sai Gon and Hanoi are necessary," Trinh said.
Singers who perform Son's songs including Cam Van, Hong Nhung, Thanh Lam, My Linh, Quang Dung, Duc Tuan and others will feature at the concerts.
Tickets for Bong Nui programme are being sold at HCM City Opera House, No7 Lam Son Square and Hanoi Opera House, No. 1 Trang Tien street tomorrow. Free tickets for other programmes are expected to be delivered on March 20.
Son's paintings will be displayed at HCM City Fine Arts Museum and Morin Hotel in Hue in early April. Organisers also plan to have another exhibition in HCM City 's White Palace where charity art auction will be organised. /.
