Italian Surprise!!
The award-winning Siam Philharmonic Orchestra's Sixth Season of monthly concerts continues with ITALIAN SURPRISE at the Thailand Cultural Center Small Hall on July 22. Somtow will conduct Mendelssohn's exuberant "Italian Symphony" and Trisdee will knock you out of your seats with Haydn's "Suprise" Symphony. And more surprises in store!
The Siam Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 2002, is one of Thailand's most visible symphony orchestras. It was originally envisaged as a way for musicians in Bangkok to "get back to basics," and in its first incarnation as the MIFA Sinfonietta the orchestra, under its founder and artistic director Somtow Sucharitkul, concentrated almost exclusively on the core classical repertoire: Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart.
In 2004, with the expansion of the orchestra's repertoire to Mahler, Strauss, and Sibelius, the orchestra could no longer be reasonably known as "sinfonietta" and changed its name to the Siam Philharmonic. Its first CD, "Per l'Amore" with Nancy Yuen, was launched in Singapore with the orchestra's first international tour in 2004, and was an Audiophile Audition disk of the month. Its resident conductor is Trisdee na Patalung, who frequently conducts at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and recently made his European opera debut at the Steyr Festival in Austria.

The Siam Philharmonic is the resident orchestra of the Bangkok Opera. As the most experienced opera orchestra in Southeast Asia, the orchestra as accompanied operas in every genre from baroque to contemporary. It has been called "a world class orchestra" by the Seattle Times, and Jonathan Richmond of London's "Opera" magazine has said of its playing: "But the biggest bravo goes to the Siam Philharmonic and Somtow. The hearts of the characters may have come through their voices, but it was the orchestra that delivered its soul. The playing was clean, taut, and full of detail. Strings were sharply disciplined to evoke a thousand feelings, while sensitive to exploring the depths of those emotions, once exposed. And the winds: just a single flute could enslave the whole Thailand Cultural Centre to the belief that Verdi’s extraordinary fiction was in fact true to life. This was music of a greatness surely more splendid than anything Bangkok has ever heard before. Bravo!"
For the Sixth Season, the SPO has launched a popular new monthly concert series. The Siam Philharmonic's monthly concert season is steadily attracting more and more enthusiasts!
