'Lumpini Waltz Festival' proves a resounding success

B.Grimm recently debuted the first-ever "Lumpini Waltz Festival" commemorating the opening of the B.Grimm Pavilion standing alongside Sala Bhirombhakdi, which has served the people for over 30 years, playing classical music generously sponsored by Boon Rawd Brewery.

The event not only establishes the pavilion as a new landmark for public enjoyment but also signifies the city's commitment to promoting a prosperous community through cultural and music development. Apart from the music, this event was made truly special by the abundance and joy of the audience, especially when interacting with the performance.

Gradually, the dance floor and platform were filled with energetic participants. Even those at the back of the audience joined in swaying to the rhythm of the music.

During the intermission, dance instructors helped people learn the basic steps of the waltz. It was clear that this concert was a success, as shown by the positive atmosphere and community engagement. In particular, it was heartwarming to see the children smile and dance to the music.

This concert was for the people; the audience consisted of a variety of nationalities and ages as well as embassy representatives. HE Evgeny Tomikhin, ambassador of Russia, and HE Ambassador Gustavo A. Martino of Argentina graced the occasion and joined in the pleasantries.

The festival featured a premiere of specially selected waltz music, brought to life by renowned conductor Charles Olivieri-Monroe and the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra. The music was varied, from electrifying and relaxing to entertaining pieces.

Each song had its distinctive form based on the timing and long-flowing movements characteristic of waltz. Johann Strauss III's Blue Danube Waltz had a beautiful melody that resonated across the entire Park.
