RBSO delivers a heroic Marvel concert

The Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra, following the anime music concert, displayed another range of dynamic breadth with two incredible performances of "MARVEL Movie Music" -- a concert that showcased the cinematic experience of superheroes through orchestral soundtracks. Under the baton of resident conductor Vanich Potavanich, the RBSO delivered a thunderous delivery of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From the opening notes of Alan Silvestri's iconic Avengers Theme, the atmosphere in the hall turned instantly electric. Maestro Vanich led the orchestra with precision and infectious enthusiasm. The RBSO strings surged with purpose and the brass and percussion rang with heroic triumph. What followed was a curated programme that traversed the history of Marvel's most beloved characters and stories. Silvestri's sweeping melodies from Avengers: Endgame stirred deep nostalgia, while the menacing march from Age Of Ultron brought a darker gravitas to the first half. Particularly striking was the Iron Man Suite, where electric guitar riffs fused seamlessly with orchestral textures, paying homage to the rock-driven swagger of Tony Stark with thrilling verve. In Black Panther, Ludwig Göransson's Afro-futurist score pulsed with polyrhythms and melodic layering, brought vividly to life by the chorus, RBSO's woodwinds and drums. The Doctor Strange suite brought a surreal, mystical edge, as harp glissandi and bending harmonics painted a world beyond time and logic. Equally captivating were selections from Thor, Captain Marvel and Guardians Of The Galaxy, each offering its own distinct tone -- from the nobility of Asgard to the bright, retro-tinged adventures. The orchestra embraced these contrasting worlds with impressive versatility, shifting styles and dynamics with superhero-like agility. Beyond the music, what truly elevated the evening was the immense joy created by the performances. Cheers erupted at familiar motifs and many attendees, young fans and enthusiastic Marvel fans were immersed in a shared memory of the movies. In a world where orchestral music continually evolves, "MARVEL Movie Music" was a resounding success.
