ATTENTION CLASSICAL MUSIC LOVERS

A special 'hello' from Mike's Bar La Cage to the classical music lovers out there.

TPO 6th.Season. 2010 – 2011

The 6th season of concerts with the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra starts on Saturday November 6th.

Every year the TPO takes on a grueling schedule of two challenging programs per month for ten months. Every year the music selected pushes the musicians to their limits, and every year they attain new levels of confidence and ability.

This 6th season holds the extra promise of being the last as a semi professional orchestra in their current home. The 7th. season should see the orchestra become the first full time professional orchestra in Thailand and resident in their new home, The Mahidol Performing Arts Centre.

I truly hope you find something of interest in this forthcoming season, and I look forward to seeing you on one of our regular Saturday outings.

Mike.

Unless otherwise stated all concerts are on Saturdays starting at 16.00. We leave from the bar at 12.00 mid day and arrive at about 14.30. This allows ample time to enjoy a lunch in the Lakeside Restaurant. Concerts usually end about 18.00 and we are back in Pattaya around 20.30. Ticket price is just 300 Baht. For further information call into the bar for a chat or phone Mike on 0894028741 or email mike@lacage-pattaya.com
