Polish Ambassador to Vietnam Joanna Skoczek stated that the concert gave audiences the opportunity to enjoy outstanding performances celebrating connections between people and cultures. She emphasized that music is a language that transcends words, borders, and generations, allowing people from different countries and cultural backgrounds to understand one another. For centuries, Polish composers and musicians have expressed the spirit of freedom, refinement, and hope through their art. From Fryderyk Chopin to Karol Szymanowski, Henryk Wieniawski, Witold Lutosławski, and Krzysztof Penderecki, their music continues to move audiences around the world. She noted that music is one of Poland’s most valuable contributions to the world's cultural heritage and that the concert also symbolizes the friendship between Poland and Vietnam.

A highlight of the program was the participation of two pianists representing two cultures and two generations of artists: Polish pianist Rafal Aleksander Luszczewski and young Vietnamese pianist Nguyen Viet Trung, who has strong ties to both Vietnam and Poland. Their collaboration created a profound artistic dialogue reflecting the cultural exchange between the two nations.

The concert was divided into two parts featuring classical masterpieces by renowned composers. Nguyen Viet Trung opened the evening with works by Franz Schubert and Sergei Prokofiev, along with several notable compositions by Frédéric Chopin. Meanwhile, Rafal Aleksander Luszczewski delivered performances that highlighted Poland’s rich musical traditions and the spirit of European cultural exchange.

After 76 years of diplomatic relations, Vietnam and Poland continue to maintain a traditional friendship across a wide range of fields, including politics, economics, education, and people-to-people exchanges. Within that relationship, cultural events such as The Flow of Music continue to serve as gentle yet enduring bridges, fostering mutual understanding and strengthening the bonds between the peoples of the two countries.
