Under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya, the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra Foundation, in collaboration with B.Grimm and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, is thrilled to present the most exciting of concerts on Monday 12th December at 7:30 pm in the Main Hall of the Thailand Cultural Centre. Russian virtuoso Maxim Vengerov – regarded by many as the greatest living violinist – is visiting the Kingdom of Thailand to perform Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major Op. 19 and Ravel's Tzigane for Violin and Orchestra with the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of English conductor Douglas Bostock.
Mussorgsky's tone poem and audience favourite Night on a Bald Mountain will open the concert, and brilliant Russian pianist Roustem Saïtkoulov will perform the most famous and celebrated of Prokofiev's piano concertos – No. 3 in C major Op. 26. To have not just one but two stellar soloists share the platform with them at the TCC will be an honour of the highest order for the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra – a truly historic occasion for classical music in Thailand.
