PRINCESS GALYANI VADHANA INSTITUTE OF MUSIC Located near the iconic Rama VIII bridge and the historic Bang Yi Khan area, PGVIM is a leading Music Conservatoire with a mission to develop the standard of music-making in Thailand and Southeast Asia, develop new knowledge, and provide a vibrant community for students, professional performers, composers, and researchers to promote music as a tool for progress and harmony. Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music, or “PGVIM,” was initiated in 2007 as a project to honour Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, who, on the auspicious occasion of her 84th birthday, graciously gave her name to the new endeavour. The institute provides a platform for musicians and music enthusiasts to exchange their knowledge, engage in musical dialogues, and collectively share their love of music.
