The​ musical compositions of HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya embody the classical contemporary music, which concentrates on the program music genre. Each composition is characterized by different arrays of tone color from sweet romance to robust sounds, from traditional tunes to exotic airs, whilst strictly following classical and traditional formats of musical arrangement.

Her Royal Highness’ inspiration for musical composition has derived from her collective memories, experiences, observation, impression, contemplation and consideration over the dynamic works and diverse missions through which she has involved over years. Her passion in the dressage, artistic creation of textile, and haute couture design has also associated immensely to her musical composition.

Dr. Harald Link, RBSO Foundation Chairman, remarked: “It’s always been in HRH Princess Sirivannavari’s determination to bring RBSO to the world stages, especially in Europe. HRH’s compositions and RBSO’s performance serve as a cultural exchange and an affirmation of friendship between Kingdom of Thailand and the three countries from which the classical music has evolved.”

To officially launch RBSO European Tour 2023, the first concert will be given at Thailand Cultural Centre on Friday 12th May 2023, at 7:30PM.
