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
