Dinh Hoai Xuan named this classic night "Home Sweet Home". She explained, “Returning” is the wish of many Vietnamese artists when studying abroad. The female artist originally from Quang Binh wanted to express her gratitude to the land that inspired her passion for the cello. This music night also has special meaning for Dinh Hoai Xuan as it marks her return after many years of training and hard work abroad. The female singer completed the course and received Vietnam's first PhD degree in music and cello performance.

Talking about the doctoral thesis she wrote, Dinh Hoai Xuan revealed that she worked hard to build the thesis with the topic of cello promotion, performance and contribution in the Vietnamese music environment. In her thesis, she pointed out three suggestions for what to do: bring the cello to school; organize a cello competition for Vietnamese cello lovers at home and abroad; produce a gameshow that combines cello with games to spread the fastest to everyone, especially the younger generation. In the immediate future, she plans to bring the cello to schools, reaching about 100,000 students across the country.
