The Shostakovitch Symphony No 11 "The Year 1905" is worth the trip - folks. An orchestra masterwork (or as I like to call it "Brass Players Eat Tokyo")

If you can't see us live (and every concert we have folks from Pattaya and Hua Hin joining, so their are die hards out there), tune in on Saturday afternoons (Channel 9) at 4pm. Our Saturday concerts are broadcast live.

The TPO will move into Prince Mahidol Hall (2,000 seat concert hall on the campus of Mahidol University Salaya) in November. The hall is being acoustically designed by Muller (Same company that did the Esplanade in Singapore) so its going to be a spectacular venue. Don't miss us - we are pretty decent
