After a seven-year hiatus from Saigon Classical’s stage, Hồ Khánh Vân returned to her homeland and Vietnamese audience in a fresh light. Her journey of honing her craft abroad has brought significant achievements and experiences in her artistic path.

The classical art concert, themed “Wiederkehr” (Return), was held at the Center for Literature and Arts (81 Trần Quốc Thảo, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City). It featured timeless classical compositions by legendary composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791), Frederic Chopin (1810–1849), Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827), Franz Liszt (1811–1886), and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847).

Hồ Khánh Vân performed on the world-renowned C. Bechstein L167 Grand Piano, priced at 2.988 billion VND, crafted by the prestigious German brand. Her expert touch, dynamic tempo, and emotive body language, coupled with her exceptional sound control, transported nearly 200 audience members through a spectrum of emotions: excitement, joy, apprehension, fear, comfort, and serenity.

With carefully arranged pieces and her bilingual (English-Vietnamese) storytelling, Hồ Khánh Vân shared her nearly seven-year journey of challenges, doubts, and triumphs while studying and living abroad. The concert not only showcased her artistic growth but also her resilience, confidence, and self-belief developed during this transformative period.
