Concert 4: Debussy: Beyond Impressionism

🎹 BEYOND IMPRESSIONISM The 4th Thailand International Piano Festival ✨ More Than a Piano: Exploring the Boundaries of Sound, Color, and Technique The 4th Thailand International Piano Festival presents Beyond Impressionism, featuring pianist Yusuke Komura in a special performance dedicated to one of the most extraordinary collections in the piano repertoire, Claude Debussy’s 12 Études. Moving beyond the shimmering colors and atmospheric beauty associated with Impressionism, Debussy’s études reveal a world of remarkable complexity, innovation, and imagination. Each étude explores a distinct technical challenge while opening new possibilities for tone, texture, rhythm, and musical expression. At the heart of this year’s festival concept, “More Than a Piano,” this recital invites listeners to discover the piano as more than an instrument of melody and harmony. In Debussy’s hands, it becomes a universe of sound, capable of extraordinary colors, delicate nuances, and breathtaking virtuosity. 🎹 FEATURING Yusuke Komura Piano 📅 Date: Saturday, November 28, 2026 🕡 Time: 18:30 📍 Venue: Sangita Vadhana Hall, Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music ----------------------- 🎼 PROGRAM Claude Debussy Deux Arabesques, L.66, I.
