2019
Auditorium, Chiang Mai University Art Center, Thailand
In 2019 we were able to continue the project and invited two young award winning classical musicians from India to Thailand. They gave a presentation and a music exchange session with our local school teachers and students. Then they improvised with our local Lanna musicians to provide a unique musical experience for the audiences, including the Consul of India, Chiangmai – Mr. Shiri Jain in our final concert.
The classical music that once was performed secretly in the royal courts, both in India and Lanna Kingdom, were blended together in Chiang Mai for this event.
With kind support from CMRU Center of Excellence for Northern Thailand Music and Dance Study, we reintroduced the forgotten Lanna tunes of before the unification with Bangkok in late 1930’s and the contemporary development, experiment with combining both classic Lanna and Indian instruments, and experienced fine solo and duo performances from our guest Indian artists.
