Mr. Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha – King Power Group CEO said, “King Power Group believes in the potential of Thai youth in music. They are as skilled and talented as musicians as those in other countries. That’s why we organise the Thailand International Wind Symphony Competition 2020 as one of our CSR campaigns under King Power Thai Power. Now in our third year, the competition receives support from the College of Music, Mahidol University. Over the years, it has been a great success, with local and international music lovers joining the competition to showcase the power of wind instruments. More than 2,600 musicians have proven their talents on this stage, but what makes us even prouder is the fact that many bands have used their experiences in this competition as a stepping stone to grow in their career in music. This is a solid proof that Thai people are ready and talented when it comes to music. King Power Group has always recognised the importance of art and music so we are determined to provide Thai people and youth an international platform to showcase their potentials.”
Dr. Narong Prangcharoen – Dean of College of Music, Mahidol University said, “The College of Music, Mahidol University, is delighted to host this competition together with King Power Group once again. The Thailand International Wind Symphony Competition (TIWSC) is unique because it’s open to people from all ages from any country. It is the only competition in Thailand that freely welcomes everyone to show their skills. The competition is a great investment for our society, using music to improve the quality of life not just in Thailand but around the world.”
The dean also added that, “This is the first year that we are honoured by a prominent music expert from China who has been in the wind instrument circle for more than 50 years, Mr. Jiang Siwen – Vice President of China Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles, to join our panel of judges. Mr. Jiang is a widely recognised music expert who has helped organised and planned music activities such as the China Shanghai Wind Festival, the China Nanchang International Military Tattoo, the Qingdao Wind Festival, China’s National Day Parade and the Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony. This competition will introduce Thailand’s world-class competition to a wider circle Chinese classical musicians as classical music bands are gaining popularity in China.”
