Happy New Year 2009!
Looking back at last year, several of my compositions were premiered, including the followings:
-“Starlight”, performed by Chulalongkorn University String Orchestra
-“Jabalaya for clarinet, violin, cello, piano”, performed by New York New Music Ensemble
-“Pledge to HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana”, performed by Chulalongkorn Symphony Orchestra.
The three compositions above were composed in memory of Her Royal Highness
Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra.
-“Home Rong” (Overture), performed by Chulalongkorn Viola Ensemble
-“Double Concerto for Ranad-ek, Ranad-toom and Orchestra”, performed by 123 Unity Thailand
-“Jatubhumi Overture”, performed by Bangkok Symphony Orchestra
And again, I greatly appreciate everyone’s effort in making all the concerts successful. Also, I recently wrote a text book, Contemporary Music Composition, which explains techniques pertaining to advanced contemporary music composition and will be published soon.
I am very honoured that I received the Silpathorn Award in September. I thank the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture for this prestigious award.
In this special occasion, I wish everyone the best and have a happy new year!

"A composer needs to find his own 'signature'. He must put all his 'brain' and 'heart' into each music piece he composes -- with all his imagination and dedication. Furthermore, he must open up his mind to listen to others' music."
