Life, James Keller, Published on 16/04/2024
» The Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra's increasing reputation for hitting the winning formula to draw in audiences was further boosted recently at the Thailand Cultural Centre where, for two consecutive nights, they performed to a completely packed house. Supported by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and B.Grimm, tickets for "Hollywood Soundtracks By Hans Zimmer" had sold out weeks in advance and a second show was added due to demand.

A harmonious blend
Life, James Keller, Published on 26/12/2023
» A highly energised Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra rounded off a hugely successful 2023 concert season mid-December with a cleverly conceived and designed programme titled "Orient Et Occident", with each performance alternating between compositions by Western and Eastern composers.

The utterly charming faux-exoticism which the composer conjures was played with innocent, abundant joy, whilst a central lush string section showed off those particular ranks in an extremely positive light.
