Maestro Hikotaro Yazaki is warming up his baton to conduct the Silpakorn Summer Music School Orchestra in the "Scheherazade" concert next week.
The concert is presented by the Faculty of Music, Silpakorn University.
Held annually, Silpakorn Summer Music School is considered to be the most prestigious of its king in Thailand.
About 100 young musical talents, selected by rigorous auditions, come to play music together and further their musical knowledge and experience under the guidance of Silpakorn's distinguished music faculty. This summer, internationally acclaimed conductor Yazaki has returned to collaborate with the young artists throughout the summer school, which will culminate with two grand performances of the "Scheherazade" concert.
