4ᵗʰ Mahidol International

Classical Guitar Forum

23 - 25 August 2024

Foreword

On behalf of Classical Guitar Department, College of Music, Mahidol University, I would like to officially welcome you to our 4th Mahidol International Classical Guitar Forum (MICGF).

We are especially honored and elevated this year by the visits of classical guitar professors and artists from different parts of the world i.e. Prof. Thomas Müller-Pering (Germany), Prof. Benjamin Verdery (USA), Junhong Kuang (China), An Tran (Vietnam/USA) and Kyuhee Park (South Korea). With their profound and unique artistic experiences, we are made able to present such various activities and concerts including Concierto de Aranjuez performance by Kyuhee Park with Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, solo and ensemble performance by Prof. Benjamin and students from his studio at Yale School of Music, Yale University etc.

We are also delighted to welcome again, WE Intellectual Property Co., Ltd., one of the well-recognized intellectual property specialist law firms in Thailand, and welcome our generous sponsor Fonzo Guitar by Ekachai Jearakul, who will also contribute their presentations as special additions to our event activities.

We are hopeful that these presentations will more or less complement and set nouveau impressions going forward for the classical guitar scene in Thailand and, if not too ambitious to wish, in Asia.

We are also always joyful to see young musicians persevere and succeed in breaking through their limitations including coming to show off their abilities. We would like to express here our appreciation to all participants and their uncompromising efforts to improve themselves, as well as to all parents and teachers, their diligent attention, for seeing the value of participating in the activities and making the best out of available opportunities.

All these are the life and colors of our music community that everyone has contributed to. Every support and element matter and none can be without the other. We look forward to welcoming you again on further occasions and hope these life and colors continue to be vivid and develop into the vivacious and sustainable music community.

Last, but not least, I and Classical Guitar Department would like to thank the Dean of College of Music, Mahidol University for giving the opportunity for Mahidol Classical Guitar Forum to continue for another occasion, and all sponsors, supporters, the event committee and especially Pheeraroj Phupaibul our alumnus who is currently studying at Yale School of Music for fantastic coordination, without whose contributions this event would not have been possible.
