Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music, Thailand, is a unique conservatory of music with a contemporary approach to classical music. Initiated in 2007 as a royal project celebrating the occasion of the 84th birthday of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarinda, the Princess has graciously gave her name to the new endeavour, the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music or PGVIM.

Following her royal vision to educate new audiences as well as developing an international standard for Thai musicians, through our Youth Orchestra, Community Choir, Education Populaire, and Audience Development, the institute aims to create platforms for students, musicians, professionals, and general audiences in order to exchange their musical experiences, make dialogues, and share their love of music together.
