Sent from my SM-N920C using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app I can't tell you a better place to post it because piano concerts are not exactly high on my "I want to go there" list. If you have a look at the topics in this forum it should be obvious that this forum is far away from what you want. If you want to advertise a piano concert with a couple of pretty, and almost naked dancers, then I guess this here would be a good place - except few people would be interested in the piano part... Have a nice day and enjoy the concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is no other forum that fits this type of post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
