Prach Boondiskulchok

Thai-British musician Prach Boondiskulchok enjoys a diverse career as a pianist, composer and teacher. He studied piano and composition at the Yehudi Menuhin School and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama as a Scholar of Princess Galyani Vadhana.

Prach’s solo and chamber music performances have taken place on stages across Europe, South East Asia, and the US. Recent highlights include a recital with Steven Isserlis and participation as soloist and jury member at the Geelvinck Fortepiano Festival and Competition. His youthful performance of Bach Sinfonias at the Royal Festival Hall was highly praised by the Independent as an “ecstatic rendition [which] would have been a high point in any programme”. More recently Prach has received critical acclaim in The Strad, The Times and The Guardian.

His compositions include Night Suite (2014) for Piano Trio, praised by George Benjamin for its “ingenuity and imagination”, and the semi-operatic chamber song cycle written in collaboration with T. S. Elliott-Prize-Winner Sarah Howe, Goose Daughter commissioned and premiered by the Birdfoot Festival in 2016. With his Ritus: Four Portraits for String Quartet, Prach is one of the four commissioned composers for the Endellion String Quartet’s 40th Anniversary in 2019, alongside Sally Beamish, Jonathan Dove, and Giles Swayne.

A keen educator and committed scholar, Prach is Doctoral Researcher at the Orpheus Institute, and a faculty member at the Royal College of Music.
