In particular, contestant Duong Duc Hai excelled and became the only Vietnamese representative to win the Gold Prize in Vocal Music, surpassing hundreds of international singers.

Not only did Duong Duc Hai win the highest award, he was also invited by the Organizing Committee to perform in a program with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra at the nearly 3,000-seat Shanghai Oriental Theater - a special honor reserved for only a few of the festival's most outstanding artists.

The TSP – Shanghai International Arts Festival is not only a high-class art playground but also a bridge for international cultural exchange. The fact that a young Vietnamese artist left his mark at this year’s event not only affirms his personal talent but also contributes to promoting the image of the country and people of Vietnam to the world.

The event ended with many opportunities for cooperation, art scholarships and performance invitations for young talents, opening up new prospects for the generation of Vietnamese artists on the path of international integration and development.
