Mahidol University will host a lecture exploring the evolution of wind band traditions in Southeast Asia and East Asia, alongside a look at related developments in the United States. Visiting Scholar Scott Lubaroff, Director of Bands and Professor of Music at the University of Central Florida, will lead the discussion.
The presentation aims to offer perspectives on the history, progression, functions, and potential future directions of organized wind bands across the region. It will also involve comparisons of these musical practices with those found in the U.S. The lecture is designed for music students, wind instrument performers, and the wider public.
The event is scheduled for Monday, October 12, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM in Room Museum 204 of the Southeast Asia Music Museum Building. Attendance is free of charge.
