Firebirds
Prince Mahidol Hall, Mahidol University Salaya -- 1400, 900, 700 Baht
The Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted by Jeffery Meyer and features Omiros Yavroumis, violin and Aibek Ashirmatov, viola. They take you on a journey of bold, youthful creativity. Stravinsky, virtually unknown at the time, was just 27 when he was commissioned by the legendary dance troupe Ballets Russes to compose The Firebird, launching his meteoric rise as a contemporary composer. Likewise, Mozart was only 22 when he wrote his Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola, seeking to make his mark by blending the symphony and concerto. Today, our own Louilarpprasert carries forward that spirit of adventure with Dial-a-Boulez, a daring work that weaves smartphones into the orchestra.
BEETHOVEN: Coriolan Overture, Op. 82
MOZART: Sinfonia concertante in E-flat major, K. 364
Piyawat LOUILARPPRASERT: Dial-a-Boulez for orchestra and phones

Prince Mahidol Hall, Mahidol University Salaya -- 1400, 900, 700 Baht
The Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted by Carl St Clair and features Eri Nakagawa, piano. “To write a symphony is to create a whole world.” These are the words Mahler used to describe what he did best: composing symphonies of epic scale. He originally named his First Symphony Titan, referencing its depiction of youthful heroism and struggle. Maestro Carl St.Clair leads TPO in this immensely powerful work. Opening the program, Mozart’s delightful Piano Concerto No. 21 shines under the artistry of our own esteemed Eri Nakagawa.

Timeless Resonance
Prince Mahidol Hall, Mahidol University Salaya -- 1400, 900, 700 Baht
The Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted by Carl St Clair and features Ekachai Jearakul, guitar. Brahms’s symphonies stand at a turning point in orchestral history. Brahms composed with deep respect for the Classical traditions of Beethoven and Mozart, yet with ambitious determination to reach beyond those boundaries toward the sweeping Romantic symphonies to come. In the same spirit, Prangcharoen’s Guitar Concerto, performed by virtuoso guitarist Ekachai Jearakul, gazes past the “invisible curve” of the horizon toward a future we cannot yet see.
