Kamala Sukosol’s annual charity concert to feature the Prachin Songpow Big Band Jazz Orchestra
In celebration of the 76th birthday anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit
A Benefit Concert in Aid of The Queen
Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, The
Thai Red Cross Society November 27-29, 2008, at Kamolthip Ballroom, Siam
City Hotel.
The Thai Red Cross Society, the Siam City Hotel, Bangkok and Singha
Corporation Co., Ltd., are proud to announce the dates for Kamala Sukosol’s
2008 Charity Concert at the Siam City Hotel, Bangkok. Kamala Sukosol,
Thailand’s reigning ‘Queen of Jazz’ takes the stage November 27-29, 2008,
for another mesmerizing charity concert.
The theme this year - “Highlights- presents Kamala Sukosol, together with
her family, friends and past collaborators, in a concert that showcases a
varied and exciting repertoire. Thailand’s premium vocal talents and
performers entertain along with the annual concert’s trademark - the
20-member Prachin Songpow Big Band Jazz Orchestra under the direction of
Piti Kayoonpan.
Kamala will be joined on stage by her family, all of whom are the
ambassadors of the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, including pop sensation
Ardhawadee Jiramaneekul (Mint) and TV presenter and vocalist, Pavarisa
Phenjati (Whan Whan). Accompanying Kamala on stage are her talented daughter
Marisa Sukosol Nunbhakdi and her singer/actor son, Krissada Sukosol Clapp
(Noi of the band “Pru”) who will sing a new version of the all-time hit,
“Live & Learn”, with his mother. Daughter, Daranee Sukosol Clapp,
granddaughter, Natalia Briones, and special guest artist Dolchai
Boonyaratavej join the hip swinging event.
An amazing vocal back-up team under the direction of Tanee Poonsuwan
promises to keep the event hopping. Equally matched with their dazzling
presence and exciting choreography are the charming members of Aree School
of Dance Arts.
The diminutive Kamala is an inspiration to all. Her inimitable style and
vocal prowess are matched only with a 20-member big band. Together, they
challenge the most difficult arrangements with a repertoire that includes
Jazz, Pop, Latin and international favourites. “Highlights” is a compilation
of Kamala’s classic hits, “Hava Nagila” and “New York, New York”, but
there’s always a new twist on traditional arrangements, such as “My Heart
Belongs to Mommy”, sung with daughters Marisa and Daranee. Gershwin’s “Let’s
Call The Whole Thing Off” will be a fun duet between Kamala and
granddaughter Natalia. The fast-paced New Orleans Jazz is another audience
favourite and foot-tapping extravaganza, as are the orchestrated renditions
of “McArthur Park” and Hairspray’s “You Can’t Stop the Beat”. While the guys
perform a rousing rendition of “YMCA”, the girls take the stage for their
own variation of “Dancing Queen” from the recent movie “Mamma Mia!” The
fast-paced evening is guaranteed first-rate entertainment, fun, and
excitement for all…did we mention Bollywood?!
Tickets are 2,500/ 2,000/ 1,500/ 1,000 baht and 400 baht for students with
I.D. Tickets for the Gala Dinner Performance on Friday, November 28, are
40,000 baht and 35,000 baht for a table of ten. Tickets are on sale at the
Siam City Hotel, tel. 0 2247-0123.
