Trio Night at the Siam Society

Pianist Jun Komatsu accepts flowers from the wife of the Japanese Ambassador to Thailand following the trio's performance at Bangkok's Siam Society

Siam Society Auditorium. Bangkok, Thailand. June 6, 2012. Three excellent local musicians provided an evening of unusual, but beautiful music, at Bangkok's Siam Society continuing chamber music series. Jun Komatsu, piano, Yos Vaneesorn, clarinet, and Tasana Nagavajara, viola, banded together in this unusual combination, to play Mozart's Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, A. Piazzolla's History of the Tango, and Max Bruch's Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Piano. All the works were new to me, although the composers were familiar. Every piece was beautifully performed. I'm quite sure that very little music has been written for this trio combination, but it is an effective grouping and I hope that this trio will reconstitute itself in the future and further perform whatever repertory there is.
