Looking for music with a purpose near Bolsa? Mùa Thu Cho Em comes to Fountain Valley

For listeners looking for a cultural outing near Bolsa this Sunday, Mùa Thu Cho Em will bring four Vietnamese voices to the Sapphire Center in Fountain Valley.

The concert is scheduled for 3 to 6:30 p.m. on October 18. The venue is at 16149 Brookhurst Street and was formerly known as Saigon Grand Center. The official ticket listing directs guests to park behind the building to avoid a penalty.

Music with a community purpose

Mùa Thu Cho Em is VNHelp’s largest annual fundraising concert, according to the nonprofit’s website. The Sapphire Center describes the 2026 program as VNHelp’s 31st annual benefit concert.

The venue says all net proceeds from the concert will support humanitarian programs in Vietnam.

This year’s principal singers are Ngọc Mai, Đình Bảo, Thiên Tôn and Nam Khánh. The event also continues a long-running VNHelp tradition as the organization marks 35 years in 2026.

That makes the afternoon more than a chance to hear Vietnamese music. It is also a place for the community to gather and support charitable work.

What can listeners expect?

Beyond the fundraising purpose, an organizer has shared more about the performances being prepared.

The four principal singers will perform solo numbers, according to information a member of the organizing team provided to Bolsa Bridge. Đình Bảo, Nam Khánh and Thiên Tôn will also sing as a trio, while Ngọc Mai will join the three men for a number together.

The program also features Hân Holiday, Finn Le and Duy Khang. The organizer says the three young performers' set will include vocal harmonies, self-accompaniment on acoustic guitar and piano, and beatboxing — making rhythmic sounds with the mouth.

The organizers are keeping the song titles under wraps to preserve a surprise for the audience.
