Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra Ends its 5th Season

On September 25, 2010, at Nakhonpathom, Thailand, I attended the final concert of the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra’s 5th season. The major work on the program was an exciting and enormously well-played Mahler Symphony No. 5, which received the thunderous applause it deserved.

Buzz’s good friend Susan enjoyed the performance as much as Buzz did. We’re both looking forward to the TPO’s 6th season, which begins on November 5, 2010, and concludes on September 24, 2011.

The orchestra and soloists receive flowers from the Ambassador of the Netherlands, as the TPO’s final concert of the season concludes. The most frequent adjective heard after the stirring performance of Mahler’s 5^th Symphony, was “amazing.”
