Princess Galyani Vadhana International Music Festival 2023 (PGMF2023) is the final part of a three-year plan to celebrate the Centennial Celebration of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana. Hosted by the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music, the festival will be held from 30 May to 3 June 2023 at Sangita Vadhana Hall. It features guest artist performances, a call for artists competition, and a business model pitching competition, with the aim of promoting and supporting classical music in Thailand while exploring its feasibility, economics, and sustainability. Among the highlights of the PGMF are the Guest Artists Performances, which not only entertain but also serve as a wellspring of inspiration for the Thai audience and the emerging generation of classical musicians. The festival also features the Call for Artists Competition, now known as the Performance and Promotion Competition, providing a platform for young classical musicians to showcase their artistry through creative performances while honing skills in project writing, public relations, and cultivating a fanbase.

The festival continues the vision of Princess Galyani Vadhana to bring classical music to Thai society and provide a platform for young classical musicians to showcase their artistry and to honor her lifelong commitment to the arts and education. The Princess Galyani Vadhana International Music Festival 2023 is a tribute to her life and her dedication to classical music in Thailand.
