CU Performs at Siam Square

On August 16, 2025, at Block I, Siam Square, Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, presided over the opening of the performance by the Chulalongkorn University Symphony Orchestra, under the royal patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra. The performance was conducted by Associate Professor Dr. Nora-ath Chanklum, Silpathorn Artist. Also present to welcome the audience were Associate Professor Dr. Sittidaj Pongkijvorasin, Vice President of Chulalongkorn University; Assistant Professor Dr. Vitchatalum Laovanich, Assistant to the President for Arts and Culture; Assistant Professor Dr. Charasphat Preuksarattanawut, Assistant to the President for Property Management; and Mr. Kunchit Jitratan, Director of the Office of Arts and Culture Administration. 

The CU Symphony Orchestra’s performance, under the project “Music Street @ Siam Square,” is a collaboration between the Office of Arts and Culture Administration and the Property Management Office of Chulalongkorn University, in line with the President’s policy to make Siam Square—a hub of learning for people of all ages—into a “creative learning space.” The project aims to bring meaningful activities from the university to the public on a regular basis. 

Showcasing the talents of its students for the public to enjoy and appreciate, the CU Symphony Orchestra is a source of pride for the university. It also helps cultivate valuable experiences for students aspiring to become professional musicians in the future, while giving them the opportunity to discover their identities, passions, happiness, and even potential careers. This project reflects Chulalongkorn University’s strategic vision: “Chula Togetherness – All-round Growth with Students at the Center.”
