The music of Thai composer NARONG PRANGCHAROEN has been called absolutely captivating (Chicago
Sun Times). Although still in his early thirties, Prangcharoen has established an international reputation and is
recognized as one of Thailands leading composers. Prangcharoen has received many international prizes,
including the Alexander Zemlinsky International Composition Competition Prize, the 18th ACL Yoshiro IRINO
Memorial Composition Award, the Pacific Symphonys American Composers Competition Prize, the Toru
Takemitsu Composition Award, and most recently, the Annapolis Charter 300 International Composers
Competition Prize. In 2007, the Thai government named Prangcharoen a Contemporary National Artist and
