Experience an extraordinary evening where East meets West in Baroque Meets Japonesque, a rare artistic collaboration uniting the elegance of Baroque music with the refined beauty of Japanese traditional dance. This cross-cultural performance weaves together centuries-old musical masterpieces and expressive movement, creating a dialogue between two rich artistic traditions.
More than a celebration of the arts, this special performance is also a charity concert, held in support of Rainbow School, an orphanage and an elementary school in Kanchanaburi. Through music and dance, the evening aims to bring inspiration, cultural exchange, and hope—extending the power of the arts beyond the stage and into the community.
Rainbow School is a Thai-certified orphanage and elementary school for stateless children, located deep in the mountains of Kanchanaburi. It was founded by a Japanese monk and has been run by a Japanese principal for 15 years. They host many field studies and are well-known among Japanese people living in Bangkok, but they hope to raise awareness and support for the school among Thais and other people.
