SINGAPORE The auditorium at the Band Academy Singapore recently filled with a crowd who came for a live concert called Hanoi in Me jointly held by the Vietnamese Embassy and the community there, to raise funds for the upcoming mid-autumn festival for children.

Vietnamese Ambassador Mai Phước Dũng said that the event was an opportunity for the community to come together, and turn their hearts to the homeland.

Lovely melodies about Hà Nội graced the event through the performances of professional singers, and Vietnamese talents.

Trịnh Thị Mai, a 39-year-old worker who has been in Singapore for five years, said she was delighted to attend this meaningful event.

Liz Nguyễn, a representative from the organising board, said the event was meticulously prepared, and the proceeds, small in value as it was, will make practical contributions to organising the mid-autumn festival for the kids next month. VNA/VNS
