According to a representative of the organizing committee, each chapter brings meaning and emotion, starting from beautiful memories of nature, moving to current issues, confronting them, and finally leading to awareness, hope, and action. The "Flowers and Trash" concert is a harmony of music, light, and recycled materials, where trash becomes the main character, picked up and illuminated on stage to recount its journey of rebirth.
The concert will take place from 7 p.m. on 9/8 at Crescent Lake Park. The 8th Phu My Hung Green Living Festival and the concert are free and open to the public.
