Training Courses
Aksornsilpa Music and Arts Camp has been an ongoing development since 2018 on the field at Mae Ok Hu village, Mae La, Tha Song Yang district, Tak province, Thailand, which constitutes the Karen community. Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Foundation provides funding for the volunteer camp and other participating universities.
In 2019, the framework focuses on the idea of volunteerism and developing the skills of university students. In the third year, the practise applies the paradigm through the participation of local schools and volunteers, which leads to sympathy between the community, the schools, and the volunteers. The operation focuses on: 1) Building the volunteer mentoring team who are the alumni of the first and second years of the camp by providing the professional practise environment for new members; 2) Developing local students to be leaders through working with facilitators and university students; and 3) Surveying the needs of the community for sustainability development.
The Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music Youth Orchestra, known as “PYO,” has been established with the vision to promote and develop young talented Thai musicians in the skill of orchestral playing since 2013. Selected from hundreds of applicants from universities and schools throughout Bangkok, 62 of the finest
players are now embarking on a musical
exploration in our concert season.
From our philosophy “PYO Experiences - Explore, Exchange, Excel”, we aspire to support our young talents in pursuit of musical excellence. Our orchestral training program will allow them to
gain experience in the art of orchestral playing while meeting friends and colleagues who share the same passion for music making.
