Following two opening concerts, the Thailand International Piano Festival 2025 continues its third event in their concert series with “Spanish Landscape”, which will be held in the Main Auditorium of Silpakorn University, Wang Tha Phra campus, on Saturday at 6.30pm.
This year, the festival presents piano music from different cultures worldwide, with Spanish and Russian music in line for this weekend. With a slight twist to the programme, pianists will make adjustments to the repertoire to ensure deepest reverence for the memory of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother.
This concert will bring audiences on a captivating journey through the vibrant sounds of Spain with a solo piano recital featuring the works of renowned Spanish composers.
Experience the evocative Cerdana by Severac, followed by Albeniz’s stunning Navarra, Eritana, La Vega and Azulejos, each of these pieces capturing the essence of Spain’s rich musical landscape.
The programme culminates with de Falla’s Fantasia Baetica, a dramatic and passionate masterpiece that paints a vivid picture of Andalusia. This recital offers a unique opportunity to immerse in lesser-known piano music that offers the rhythmic intensity and soulful beauty of Spanish music, performed with virtuosic flair.
The recital will be brought to life by Yusuke Komura, a UK-based Japanese pianist and prize-winner of the concerto competition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In the festival’s first year, Komura championed the technically demanding Alkan Piano Concerto and last year, Rachmaninov’s first and second piano sonata in the same evening.
Tickets cost 700, 1,000 and 1,500 baht (350 baht for students), with a 25% discount on VIP 4-bundle.
