French virtuoso to perform for HRH Princess Sirivannavari's birthday

French virtuoso cellist Gautier Capuçon will be flown into the Kingdom to join the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra in a royal concert held to mark the birthday of HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana, the patron of the RBSO.

The "Gautier Capuçon Plays Walton Cello Concerto" concert will take place in the Main Hall of Thailand Cultural Centre, Ratchadaphisek Road, on Jan 11 at 8pm.

Written for the celebrated cellist Piatigorsky by British composer William Walton in 1956, Cello Concerto Op.68 is a powerful mixture of reserved English character and the more sunny Mediterranean influence of the picturesque Ischia -- his adopted dream home next to the perfect azure waters just off the coast of Naples, Italy.
