Award-winning piano talents in concert

Three former winners of the Mozart and Chopin International Piano Competitions will give a mini piano concert, at Siam Ratchada Auditorium, ground floor of Fortune Town, Ratchadaphisek Road, today at 6pm.

Presented by D&M Music Studio, the “Piano Recital Hall Of Fame” will see talented pianists — Anant Changwaiwit, Gun Chaikittiwatana and Supawee “Poon” Srisurichan — perform piano pieces as part of the awards ceremony for winners of the Mozart International Piano Competition 2018.

The repertoire includes Liszt’s Fugue From Piano Sonata In B Minor and Funérailles, Saint-Saens’ 6 Etudes For The Left Hand Op 135 No.1 and No.2 and Chopin’s Nocturne Op 27 No.2.

Anant, 27, has won top prizes and awards in many competitions. He has performed piano concertos with various orchestras including the Mahidol Symphony Orchestra, Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra (TPO) and North Czech Philharmonic Teplice. He’s studying for a master’s in performance and pedagogy at Mahidol University’s College of Music.

Gun, 21, also has gathered a string of awards from many major piano competitions — local and abroad. He was the first Thai to win the Grand Prix award at the Kawai International Piano Competition in Japan. Currently, he’s pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in piano performance at Mozarteum University Salzburg, Austria.

The youngest of the trio, Supawee, 16, began piano lessons when he was four and he, too, has taken home numerous awards from piano competitions.
