presenting tonight is arranged for chamber orchestra by M.L. Asani Pramote.
Da Ge
The composer Kunshen Ruan drew materials from the traditional tone of Weishan Yi People's Dage. With its characteristic sound A, G, and D as the core material, it formed the longitudinal harmony structure and horizontal lines of the whole song, which better maintained the original and authentic style of national music, and showed the local mountain flavor and the people's unrestrained personality. Kunshen Ruan's music expresses his deep feelings about the culture, life, and music of Yunnan ethnic minorities. This is also the deep connotation of Dage, which embodies people's life interest and vitality. Chao Phraya

Chulalongkorn University Chamber Ensemble
CU Chamber Ensemble is part of Chulalongkorn University Symphony Orchestra under the Office of Art and Cultural Management, Chulalongkorn University.
The ensemble was established in June 2014 and had its debut
in a concert series, Music at Chula, intended to be merely a one-off performance.
The ensemble took an unexpected turn as it has been
extensively invited to play in events both on and off campus.
Members of
the ensemble are current students of Chulalongkorn University, with the number of musicians, ensemble types and instrumentation varying from quartets to chamber orchestra.
CU Chamber Ensemble repertoire is generally Thai and popular music, which an intention to set the ensemble apart from Chulalongkorn University Symphony Orchestra, which is the major ensemble of the university performing Western classical works.
As a result, Chula Chamber allows
students to experience lighter genres of music in addition to the experience they gain from being members of CU Symphony Orchestra.
