Becoming a phenomenon among young people with Vietnamese piano cover songs, knowing how to play many instruments, the name Cao Son Nguyen (Nguyen Ngoc Cao Son) is being searched a lot on Youtube.

From the age of 13, the passion for music was revealed in this friend. Having been a tutor for 2 years, Cao Son joined the Conservatory and became a Piano student. Since then, until 17 years old to study in high school, Son ended the “career” to learn how to sing but unfortunately, he can’t. Although by that time, there has never been any grand prize in life, the piano has become a passion for Cao Son Nguyen.

Not only stopping with passion for piano, Cao Son also searched through television, through YouTube, to learn how to play other instruments. Now, the ability to “dance” with Cao Son’s instruments has been added to guitar and ukulele.

According to his friend, learning how to play a variety of musical instruments is not difficult but the most important thing is to carefully review the details, understand the instructions and work hard. That was the way that Cao Son conquered the piano.

“Prince” of Vietnamese music piano cover

Cao Son often spent time searching for piano covers online to listen, because Son was a piano player himself, so he wanted to listen to his favorite songs through piano.

At that time, he noticed one thing: It is easy to find a piano cover of any international music but with Vietnamese music, it is quite rare, if any, it is not as diverse as the foreign market.

And Cao Son came up with the idea of covering Vietnamese music that people often listen to. Grace received many positive comments from the first few articles, which motivated Cao Son to continue his cover work later.

The first recording of Cao Son is the song of 365daband. At first, Cao Son was sent by a friend to link this post because it was quite “hot” at that time. Since he had planned to make a piano cover beforehand, when he heard this song, Cao Son tried to cover it because he felt it fit his criteria.

And the recording that makes Cao Son most memorable is to mention the article is Chac Ai Do Se Ve with two reasons is “fumbling a bit complicated chords” and “a bit long time”, so when filming Cao Son… depressed.

Receiving many positive comments on YouTube channel, up to now, Cao Son has owned more than 100 copies of Vietnamese favorite songs such as: Dau Mua, Gwiyomi, Tonghua, Khi Nguoi Lon Co Don, Em Cua Ngay Hom Qua, etc … With the process of self-recording, self-learning chords, 100 coverings are a respectable number.

Cao Son often visits YouTube every day to read “comments” and answer everyone’s questions. From the “up” of cover songs, Cao Son received a lot of diverse questions, such as instructions on how to play the song, suggestions or a cover request as required …

He feels very happy that her achievements are supported by people, and at the same time he feels pressure when he tells himself to try harder for the next product. But it can be said, everyone’s feelings and encouragement are the motivation for Son to complete the music well.

Wants to become an engineer

Currently, Cao Son is attending his second year, Department of Electrical Engineering, at International University – Ho Chi Minh National University – Vietnam. Since I was in high school, this was Cao Son’s dream.

Electrical Engineering helps Son to have a more open and objective view of confidence, and also helps him to be stronger, more flexible in fixing problems although he is learning as an engineer.

Also thanks to Electrical Engineering, Cao Son’s cover versions are not only technically, but also very powerful, difficult and very colourful just like the subject he is learning, haha!

It’s no secret that music holds the power to enchant people. Ears hear the melodies and every fiber of the soul feels them, especially when the message behind the musical notes conveys a call for world peace.

“In times of turmoil, music has always been our refuge, where we find solace and the courage to hope. This is what inspired ‘Concerto for Peace,’” reflects Omar Harfouch, the world-renowned pianist and composer who will bring “Concerto for Peace” to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, France.

When he isn’t busy producing classical melodies with every keystroke of his piano, Harfouch can be found redefining what it means to blend art and activism. His upcoming “Concerto for Peace,” set to premiere on September 18, 2024, promises to be more than just a concert—it’s an evocative call to unity, a symphonic plea for a world yearning to heal.

Just 48 hours after enchanting Paris with the concerto, Omar Harfouch will take the stage at the United Nations in Geneva to deliver the “Concerto for Peace” once more. This remarkable performance is set to be a highlight of the World Music Conference, coinciding with the global observance of World Peace Day on September 20.

A Symphony as a Statement

Omar Harfouch is no stranger to the power of music as a transformative force. With a career that’s as much about melodic innovation as it is about social impact, Harfouch’s latest work, “Concerto for Peace,” encapsulates his belief that music can be both recreational and revolutionary. As 2024 sees the rise of art with a cause, Harfouch’s concert stands out for its musical mastery and bold message.

“This isn’t just about notes on a page,” Harfouch explains. “It’s about creating a space where every listener, regardless of background, can feel part of something larger—a movement toward peace, one note at a time.”

In a world where philanthropy is increasingly woven into the heart of the arts, Omar Harfouch’s “Concerto for Peace” reflects a growing trend where music serves as a catalyst for change. The performance, featuring the Béziers Méditerranée Symphony Orchestra under the skilled direction of Mathieu Bonnin, is set to be a defining moment in this movement.

The Pulse of 2024: Music with Purpose

As we navigate the complexities of 2024, the intersection of art and advocacy has never been more pronounced. The global music industry is seeing an unprecedented convergence with philanthropic efforts. Artists are not just creating for the sake of creation; they are crafting experiences that resonate with the world’s most pressing issues.

Omar Harfouch stands on the frontlines of this shift. “Concerto for Peace” is emblematic of a broader movement where art becomes a form of protest, a medium for messages that words alone can’t convey.

“Music has this incredible ability to reach where words often fail,” Harfouch reflects. “In every melody, there’s a story. In every crescendo, a call to action.”

An Artistic Tribute to Roots and Responsibility

The story behind one of Harfouch’s most famous compositions is a tale from his childhood. This is primarily why the upcoming Paris performance is also deeply personal for Harfouch. Among the pieces featured is “Tripoli,” a composition that serves as a musical homage to his birthplace.

With its intricate blend of cultural motifs and personal history, this piece adds a profound layer of authenticity to the concert. To that effect, it becomes an artistic expression fueled by his personal journey.

“Tripoli is more than just a city to me—it’s a symbol of resilience, of the beauty that can emerge from hardship,” says Harfouch. “Through this piece, I’m sharing a part of myself, my history, and my hope for the future.”

Another key highlight is “Save One Life, You Save Humanity,” a composition that spotlights Harfouch’s belief in the power of individual action. In a world where small acts of kindness can ripple into broader societal change, this piece serves as both a reminder and an inspiration.

A Crescendo of Hope

As the “Concerto for Peace” prepares to echo through the streets of Paris, Omar Harfouch is reflective yet resolute. “We live in a world that’s constantly changing, constantly challenging us,” he says. “But in music, we find a constant—a reminder that beauty, harmony, and peace are always within our reach if only we’re brave enough to listen.”

For Harfouch, this concert is the culmination of months of work and proof of the enduring power of art to reflect the world, comfort the world, and change the world.

The “Concerto for Peace” is bound to leave behind a lasting impact—a reminder that, in the grand symphony of life, every voice matters, and every note counts.
