Four young talented musicians are joining forces in a chamber concert held to raise funds for the Gift of Life Foundation at Sala Sudasiri Sobha on July 23.
Two gifted string players from Mannes College. The New School for Music in New York — Yada Lee and Zexun Shen — will play violin and cello, respectively, with a piano accompaniment by Pinnaree Yontararak and Kant Lormsomboon.
The programme, which will start at 7.30pm, will feature Mozart’s Violin Sonata In E-Minor, Ravel’s Violin Sonata In G-Major, and Dvorak’s Piano Trio No. 4 In E-Minor (Dumky Trio).

The award-winning Zexun from Shanghai has performed extensively in the US, China, Australia and Poland as a soloist and chamber musician. He plays on an 1889 Giovanni Dollenz cello made in Triesta, Italy with a Joseph Henry bow.

She also gave shared recitals with her musician sister, Paranee, on many occasions to also raise funds for needy blood patients for the Gift of Life Foundation.
