Can you find yourself in the crowd?<\/p><\/div>\n

The performers for the evening were Thu Phuong, Ha Anh Tuan, and Quang Linh. Each brought their own element to the stage to that night: Thu Phuong her playful banter, Ha Anh Tuan his powerful vocals, and Quang Linh his sincere renditions of \u00a0modern classics. They were well-received by the audience. Check out some of the comments we received after the show!<\/p>\n

Having all 3 singers in the first song was excellent.\u00a0 I’m instantly hooked & [it] gave me a great first impression. Ha Anh Tuan, Thu Phuong & Quang Linh’s voices complimented each other very well.The individual performances were good, but I enjoyed the duets & trio performances even more.

…But not before Executive Director Thu Anh Do and Chairman of the Board Thang Do take a moment to talk a little bit about VNHELP and thank the many sponsors who made this charity concert possible.<\/p><\/div>\n

Two vocal powerhouses, Thu Phuong and Ha Anh Tuan, sing a duet together.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ever the passionate singer, Ha Anh Tuan stunned many of the audience members with his poignant solos.<\/p><\/div>\n

Singer Quang Linh truly re-invented himself that night. Many audience members related that they had only known Quang Linh as a folk-style singer, but at Mua Thu Cho Em, Quang Linh blew audience members away with the range of musical genres and emotional depth of his singing.<\/p><\/div>\n

Songstress Thu Phuong has a playful side to her too!<\/p><\/div>\n

Thu Phuong had movement and flare.<\/p><\/div>\n

Towards the end of the show, the trio took song requests for the audience.<\/p><\/div>\n

At times, the audience had a rollicking good time, and at times the audience was moved to tears. But the best part was that it was all for a good cause.<\/p>\n
