Welcome to Princess Galyani Vadhana International Ensemble Competition!

Since 2013 young musicians from all over the world come to us with their families and teachers, to meet peers from all over the globe, an international Jury, music-lovers and the local citizens.

Due to the Pandemic, the 2021 and 2022 editions were held online. This year the competition will take place "on site" in Bangkok again.

Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana enjoyed music all her life, ever since she was young. Her interest in music had no boundaries. She showed a keen interest in Thai and Western music, especially classical music.

When Ministry of Culture and Silpakorn University presented the project to establish a Conservatory of Music to celebrate the occasion of the 84th birthday of Her Royal Highness in 2007, she graciously gave her name to the new endeavour, and the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music was born. 

The Princess Galyani Vadhana International Ensemble Competition is one of the institute’s projects that aims to fulfil Her Royal Highness’ vision to develop an international standard for Thai musicians and to create a platform where musicians of any nationality can exchange and share musical ideas. Such events provide inspiration and support the expansion of audiences and performers of classical music in Thailand.
