Concert Descriptions

Should we play Bach on modern instruments?

Switched-On Fugues answers with Bach's own silence. He left no instrumentation specified for The Art of Fugue, written in his final years when counterpoint of this density had already fallen out of fashion. The masterpiece exists as pure musical architecture, open to whatever forces can realize it, and that openness is where this performance begins. The title nods to Wendy Carlos's landmark 1968 album Switched-On Bach, which proved that Bach's lines could live as fully in any sound world as in his own.

Om and Friends and the Thai Historically Informed Performance Society Ensemble (THIPS Ensemble) perform BWV 1080 complete, all contrapuncti and canons in sequence, on gut strings and baroque traverso alongside synthesizers and live electronics. The ensemble brings historically informed performance practice, the study and use of period instruments and performing techniques true to Bach's own era, into direct conversation with the electronic instruments of today. That the work still holds, nearly three centuries after Bach's death and in instrumentation he never imagined, is itself a testament to what he was after all along.

Spellbound: An Evening of Music, Dance & Wonder

Step into a world of enchantment at Spellbound, where virtuoso musicians and graceful dancers seamlessly weave together spells of sound and movement. Our talented musicians include violinists Graeme Norris and Omporn Kowintha, violist Pisoot Saay-op-oua, cellist Jonathan Weigle, and pianist Akkra Yuenyonghattakporn, playing in harmony with ballet dancers Fahsai Thaweesak and Chanakarn Panpijit. This unforgettable evening opens with Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture, followed by Chopin’s lyrical 2nd movement from Piano Concerto No. 1, Saint-Saëns’ ghostly Danse Macabre, and Rachmaninoff’s mesmerizing Variation 18 from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. After intermission, Gershwin’s jazz-infused brilliance takes center stage with Rhapsody in Blue, Fascinating Rhythm, and I Got Rhythm. Don’t miss this spellbinding fusion of classical mastery with ballet’s poetic grace!

The concert will be held at Wellington College International Bangkok on June 11, 2026 at 7pm.
Ticket prices: ฿1200 (฿500 student)
