King and Queen Attend 52nd Red Cross Concert
King and Queen attended the 52nd Red Cross Concert at Thailand Cultural Center on July 15, honoring late Queen Sirikit while raising funds for the Thai Red Cross Society through classical music and traditional performances.
On July 15, 2026, His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen presided over the 52nd Red Cross Concert "Still On My Mind: Eternal in the Heart" at the Thailand Cultural Center's Grand Hall in Bangkok. The concert was organized to develop Thai classical music to international standards and to raise funds for the Thai Red Cross Society, with Culture Minister Sabida Taiserit and Royal Thai Navy Commander Pairojn Feuangjun chairing the organizing committee.
Upon entering the hall, the royal couple viewed a commemorative exhibition honoring the late Queen Sirikit, the King's mother and founder of the Thai Red Cross, presented through light, color, and piano performances that conveyed her compassion and legacy of giving through music. The evening featured two programs: the first part showcased classical pieces performed by the Royal Thai Navy Band, including highlights such as Ruslan and Ludmila Overture, The Firebird Suite, and Symphony No. 40 in G Minor—originally played at the first Red Cross Concert in 1961—alongside royal compositions and a newly commissioned piece titled "Eternal Light of Grace," dedicated to Queen Sirikit's musical legacy.
The second program presented a traditional masked dance performance of the Ramakien depicting Prince Rama crossing the ocean, showcasing the valor and loyalty of the monkey army. The King and Queen presented ceremonial donations to the Thai Red Cross and acknowledged the contributions of organizers and donors before departing.
