Bangkok--20 Jan--SET
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), in conjunction with the College of Music, Mahidol University, has recently announced the winners of the 17th “SET Youth Music Competition”, among youths with musical talents. The project aims to encourage young musicians to explore and cultivate their talents and potential up to international standards.
The competition creates opportunities for students from primary school through undergraduate levels, aged not over 25, to join. Contestants can perform any type of music using non-electronic instruments, including singing.
The gold medal winners were elementary school student Krit Inaram, playing a panpipe, from Amnatcharoen School; secondary school student and violinist Polsid Sodhanasiri from Veeraphan Duriyang School of Music; high school student Pitchayapa Lueangtawikit from College of Music, Mahidol University; playing a violin, and undergraduate and guitarist Chinnawat Themkumkwun from College of Music, Mahidol University.
SET President Kesara Manchusree said that this contest was one of SET’s projects that demonstrate corporate social responsibility by continuously enhancing youth potential. This musical competition has proven to be effective in encouraging youth to utilize their free time productively. The more we provided the opportunity for talented youth to perform on stage, the more their musical skills would excel.
"I'm really impressed with the talent of Thai youth today and the performances of all the winners were really outstanding. SET is truly committed to encouraging youth to develop their musical skill. The musician or singer needs to devotedly invest both time, energy and mind to learn and practice. We believe that this competition would inspire and pave the way for youth to pursue their dreams for a bright future,” Kesara added.
The winners were selected from 40 youths who reached the final round, screened from 400 youths nationwide. The awards are worth a total of THB 1 million. The gold medal winners receive certificates and scholarships from Mahidol University.
