Somtow Sucharitkul conducts the Siam Sinfonietta’s with three of the greatest masterpieces of twentieth-century theatre music in Siam Sinfonietta’s latest exclusive Banyan Tree concert!

Programme:

Leonard Bernstein
CANDIDE
The Sinfonietta plays the energetic and comedic Overture from Bernstein's setting of Voltaire’s witty satire.

Richard Strauss
SUITE FROM 'DER RONSENKAVALIER'
The orchestral music with its erotically charged prelude, the humorous waltz sequences, and the bittersweet music from the final trio. This comes from Strauss's romantic comic opera in which a young count pledges undying love to a sophisticated older woman, who tells him that he will soon find someone his own age to love.

Igor Stravinsky
PETRUSHKA
Composed for the innovative Ballets Russes, this is the story of a puppet clown who falls in love with a ballerina doll. The music is considered a landmark in modern ballet and modern music.

The international award-winning Siam Sinfonietta is a young symphony orchestra presenting highlights of classical and modern music in an intimate atmosphere.
