BSO Concert “Live & Learn”
Tuesday 17 May 2016, 8 p.m. at Thailand Cultural Centre, Main Hall
Come and relive Boyd Kosiyabong’s 2003 mega-hit Live & Learn with hotel-business woman and prolific show-business philanthropist Kamala Sukosol, also known widely as Thailand’s very own ‘First Lady of Swing!’ The matriarch of a multifaceted, copiously talented family dynasty who have been hailed as the ‘musical hoteliers of Thailand,’ her daughter Marisa (heading up the hotel group and an environmentalist) and son Krissada (aka Noi, award-winning actor and frontman and song writer of rock-band Pru) will appear alongside Kamala in a scintillating set of love ballads including Elton John’s Your Song, jazz standards such as My Way and Almost Like Being In Love, as well as historic cabaret classics.
Marisa will bring along to the party her own signature hit-tune Suk Wan Neung, whilst brother Noi will represent his successful career with the band Pru, with hit numbers Thuk Sing and Pru. Rock/Pop fans will recall that in 2002 Pru famously triumphed at the MTV Asia Awards.
Meanwhile, mother Kamala will transport the TCC audience on a sentimental journey back in time to the romance and wonder of a bygone Parisian age, with La Vie en Rose and Non, je ne regrette rien evoking the aura and immortal memory of French entertainer and celebrated chanteuse Édith Piaf; and the jazz standard of Frank Sinatra’s New York, New York. The hall will be reminded that Kamala herself has likewise attained an impressive legacy of longevity with a keen entrepreneurial instinct. Performing charitably here on this side of the world for over three decades now, to date she has raised over 60 million Baht for a plethora of good causes.
Conducted by the BSO’s very own esteemed and long-serving trumpet principal Vanich Potavanich, this dazzling display of glitz and romance will surely fill the Thailand Culture Centre with rousing good cheer and create many cherished memories.
