When the spirit of heritage meets contemporary music, GG Corporation presents the public with two outstanding artistic experiences: the exhibition “Living Heritage – Heritage for the Future” and the Jazz Concert – IMMERSED, which officially took place at GEM Center (Ho Chi Minh City) on November 15, 2025. These two events became a convergence point between knowledge, art, and emotion, where the public could immerse themselves in a space that nurtures spiritual, humanistic, and creative values.
The exhibition "Living Heritage – Heritage for the Future": Where heritage is told through art.
The exhibition “Living Heritage – Heritage for the Future” opens up a sophisticated artistic space where calligraphy, visual arts, and multimedia platforms blend together, recounting the life journeys, thoughts, and inspirations of globally influential Vietnamese individuals in medicine, finance, art, and culture. It is not just a display, but also a destination for the public to contemplate, feel, and connect with timeless spiritual and humanistic values.
Precious life values passed on to future generations.
With a spirit of connecting and spreading living heritage, GG Corporation implements the Living Heritage project as a multi-sensory platform: from the website www.livingheritage.vn – a space for self-learning and meeting inspiring international figures, to the annual e-book publication “Living Heritage” with Volume 1 “The Universal Within – The Universe of the Heart” and world-class art events such as the Jazz Concert – IMMERSED, where music becomes an emotional and educational experience, elevating the refined lifestyle of each participant.
The exhibition also marks the launch of the e-book “The Universal Within – The Universe of the Mind” (Volume 1), the first in GG Corporation’s annual publication series. The work introduces exemplary Vietnamese figures globally, celebrating their intelligence, resilience, and creativity, while guiding readers to explore their “inner universe”—where spiritual strength, compassion, and humanistic thinking become the foundation for a successful and fulfilling life.
From science to art, from knowledge to inspiration, the Living Heritage exhibition celebrates outstanding Vietnamese figures globally. Associate Professor, Doctor Phan Toan Thang – the "scientist who turns waste into gold" – has developed a technology for extracting stem cells from umbilical cord membranes, holding patents in over 80 countries, transforming what was once considered waste into knowledge that serves humanity.
Throughout his artistic journey, Sir Niels Lan Doky, the Vietnamese-born "Jazz Knight," has brought freedom to music with over 46 albums and hundreds of performances at prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall. Meanwhile, filmmaker, painter, and author Nguyen Thi Xuan Phuong, 96 years old, continues to radiate inspiring energy, demonstrating the spirit of "young at heart" with compassion, faith, and love for life.
At the exhibition, a precious calligraphy piece by the late Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, featuring the two Chinese characters "An Tru" (meaning "peaceful dwelling"), is displayed alongside an exquisite ikebana artwork by artist Nixon Tran. The combination of calligraphy and artistic installation creates a tranquil space where the beauty of inner peace is expressed through a gentle yet profound visual language, reminding us of the power of mindfulness in modern life.
Visitors can also experience music from the renowned C. Bechstein piano, explore the Aroma Therapy Collection “The Universal Within” and the Lifestyle Collection “Living Heritage” – creations that blend art, life philosophy, and contemporary well-being. The exhibition is free to attend, inviting everyone to contemplate and share the value of Vietnamese heritage.
The event also introduced the Living Heritage Foundation – a Foundation for the Future, with a mission to support humane cultural, educational, and healthcare activities. The Foundation's first activity was awarding the Nguyen Thai Binh Scholarship – for students in flood-affected areas, in collaboration with Thanh Nien Newspaper, with a total value of 500 million VND, supporting students in Central Vietnam to overcome difficulties and spreading the spirit of sharing and resilience.
Adhering to its philosophy of Educational Entertainment, the Foundation also implements programs that inspire multi-sensory artistic creativity in young people, helping young talents explore the depth of their spirit, inner strength, and creativity. In 2025–2026, the Foundation will partner with the Carl Bechstein Vietnam – Thailand Piano Competition 2026 and the Grand Opus Performing Competition (GOPC) 2026, creating opportunities for young Vietnamese artists to perform on international stages, spreading the values of heritage and the spirit of contemporary art.
