With the support of the Ministry of Culture, Thailand and ASEAN Cultural council, this event showcases new works especially selected via a competition organised for this Symposium. This performance will demonstrate the fruits of a musical collaboration between some of the most talented young musicians from ASEAN Youth Ensemble (AYE), young composers from the region, young musicians from Studio Musikfabrik, Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music Youth Orchestra and students from Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music.

Exploring the sonorities of Southeast Asia’s musical idioms, this new generation is not only preserving the essence of the rich musical past. They are effectively building a bridge between those ancient traditions and our current reality. In our program, the selected pieces of the competition deliver how different cultural realms can meet and blend with each other without giving up their respective local identity. Myths and different realities tend to co-exist.
