The Musique de la Terre project aims to enhance cultural competitiveness in the region through music-related initiatives and activities. It seeks to build and strengthen networks of collaboration between music institutions across Southeast Asia and foster a new generation of traditional musicians in the region.

Key Initiatives:

  1. Community Music: Recognizing Culture Through Sound
    A collaborative project between PGVIM and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, where students explore and study the traditional music of the Karen community. This initiative supports cultural tourism and helps preserve local musical heritage.
  2. Bus Project
    A hands-on experience where Thai and international students travel to various provinces in Thailand to learn and engage with local traditional music and cultural practices.
  3. ASEAN Youth Ensemble
    A program that gathers young musicians from ASEAN countries to learn and perform together. The project includes mentorship from both local and international faculty, including experts from Europe. The repertoire spans from traditional folk music to contemporary compositions, with a special focus on ASEAN instruments as the foundation of the ensemble.
  4. Celebration of 50 Years of Diplomatic Relations Between China and Thailand
    A special musical performance in China to commemorate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the People’s Republic of China and the Kingdom of Thailand. This event highlights the cultural connection between the two nations through music.
