I was born in 1952 in Cape Town, South Africa, to a musical mother and an unmusical father. I was a model student at school, for which teachers loved me and my classmates hated me. I started learning piano at the age of 8, and continued on and off with various long-suffering teachers till achieving a Piano Teacher’s Licentiate from the Trinity College of London at the age of 24. In the meantime, I had finished school, and graduated with a BA in English and French, and a High School Teacher’s Diploma.

I taught in South Africa for 6 years, then in Greece (on the island of Crete) for about 7 years. Missing university, I went back for a year of full time study in 1992, at the University of Cape Town, coming out with a Bachelor of Education. The next step was an MA (TESOL) – Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, which I secured after eight years of irregular but very enjoyable study while teaching English at language schools in Bangkok.

After teaching English at language schools in Bangkok for twelve years, I moved to Assumption University, where I taught English for a year, and then to the College of Music of Mahidol University, Salaya. I’ve been here for a year and a bit. When I finished school, I had to decide between studying music or languages. I decided that English was my first love. Now, as my hair races to turn white before it all falls out, I’m happy to be in a place where I can teach English, my first love, and be surrounded by my second love, which is music.

He has made his name on the world stages as soloist in Narong Prangcharoen’s world premiere “The Dawn of Darkness” at Ki Zu Na Concert 2012, Sumida Triphony Hall, Tokyo Japan. As a member of Siam Saxophone Quartet, he performed world premieres, Robert Lemay’s Ligne(s) médiane(s) and James J. Ogburn’s Gliese 581g at the 16th World Saxophone Congress 2012, St Andrews Scotland.

Born in Thailand in 1985, Wisuwat grew up in Hatyai, Songkhla and began saxophone practice in Saengthong Vitthaya School Marching Band at the age of ten. The passion for contemporary classical saxophone music led Wisuwat to move from Hatyai to the College of Music, Mahidol University where he met his inspirational professor, Mr. Shyen Lee, for pre-college, undergraduate and graduate programs.

Over the years, Wisuwat attended master-classes and workshops with world famous artists such as Jean-Marie Londeix, John Sampen, Roger Greenberg, Claude Delangle, Jean-Pierre Baraglioli, Chien-Kwan Lin, Richard Dirlam, William Street, Keiji Munesada, Joseph Luloff, Federico Mondelci, Eric Nestler, Eugene Rousseau, Yang, Jean Yves Fourmeau, Vince Gnojek, Richard Ducros, Christian Lauba and John Myung.

Christian Lauba, a French composer, while randomly watching youtube came upon a video performed by Wisuwat — Hard too Hard, one of Christian’s toughest compositions. He invited Wisuwat to join his master class in Lisbon, Portugal.

Wisuwat also obtained several prizes at national and international level in Saxophone related music competitions: 1st Prize from 9th Asian Symphonic Band Competition 2007, 1st Prize, Thailand Yamaha Big-Band Competition 2000, 2nd Prize, from 8th Osaka International Music Competition Osaka Japan 2007 and so on.

My musical education started many months before my birth. I was born in musician family – my father Arthur Madrevich was the principal violinist of Latvian National Orchestra for almost 25 years. He was educated in Latvian and Paris Conservatoire, where he met my mom – student of fashion design. From age of 5 I had the first violin lessons with my dad, but later went to the special music school for talented children. I remember the atmosphere of this school – mostly important was your success in your instrument playing and school supports this effort. I had special individual program that allows me to practice 6, 7 up to 10 hours per day. Among my school mates were many later very famous artists. I can point only couple of the names: Maris Jansons, Gidon Kremer, Emanuil Borok, Phil. Hirshhorn and many others.

In my students years I had a special interest to chamber music but in the same time I had opportunity to perform with Latvian national Orchestra and Latvian Youth orchestra many Violin Concertos: Mozart No. 3, Ant. Dvorak, P. Tchaikovski, Latvian Composer J. Kepitis, Hungarian composer Janos Viski. But my major interest was focused on chamber music and this opportunity was given me by Prof. Hermann Brown – Virtuous pianist and perfect ensemble player. On that time radio broadcasts use mostly life performance and I was so happy to play many sonatas with this fantastic pianist. In the same time I had a unique possibility to get some master classes with the world famous violinists as D. Oistrakh and Leonid Kogan. Those musicians were regular guests in Riga’s concert life and my father as a concertmaster of orchestra invites them for small party in our home.

This was unforgettable experience. I remember my admiring of Carmen Fantasy by Fr, Waxman played by L. Kogan. I decided to study this piece but behind the “iron curtain” this was not possible to buy this music abroad and I started to write this music by listening. Happily in the same time was concert of L. Kogan and when he come to our house I told him about my problem. Specially I need the first passage of that piece and Maestro wrote for me this passage by himself!!!!, more than this – he asked to play this music and gave my many advises how to perform this it.

When I was the 5th year student the Latvian Government organized the first professional string quartet and I was very proud to be invited in this project. After 2 years of very active concert life and many hours of practicing we took part in Moscow Quartet competition. Our mentors in Moscow were Prof. Mostras and Grigorian. This competition gave us 2nd place and selected our ensemble for string quartet competition in Bruxeles. Service in Soviet army not allowed us to fulfill this plan.

After one and half year our string quartet was the base of national Chamber Orchestra. This ensemble was between few ensembles that have the right to perform abroad. Here is not possible to show all famous musicians and countries where we performed. For more than 20 years I was the principal violist of this ensemble. All things had to be changed after Soviets crushed. Young Latvian State had no money and especially for music. Need to find way how to survive. I organized my ensemble and according the times named this as “Crazy Strings” WE performed music from baroque to jazz. In a short time we become very popular and were invited to Germany, Sweden, Finland, recorded some CDs. All this happily finished after I had an opportunity to come to Thailand. I am very happy here and try to make my students too to be happy with the music.

Dr. Paul Cesarczyk, Head of Guitar Department

Described by Guitar Review Magazine as an “artist of uncommon command and maturity, with a broad, singing tone,” the Polish-born American guitarist Paul Cesarczyk is an active exponent of both the contemporary and the traditional repertoire. He made his New York City debut at the age of seventeen at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, and has been concertizing since then throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Paul Cesarczyk has appeared in concert with the Manhattan Guitar Quartet (as a founding member), the Speculum Musicae, the Cremona Festival Orchestra, The Claremont Ensemble, the New York City Opera Orchestra, the Manhattan Virtuosi, and the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Cesarczyk has performed in many festivals including the Danish GuitarWave festival, playing the works of Per Nørgård, and the Long Island Guitar Festival, where he has performed Steve Reich’s minimalist masterpiece Electric Counterpoint, and David Leisner’s Sonata for violin and guitar. As a member of the Boyadjiev-Cesarczyk duo he performs alongside his wife, violinist Yavet Boyadjiev, and is currently expanding the contemporary violin and guitar repertoire with commissions.

Mr. Cesarczyk is the recipient of several prestigious awards including the Andres Segovia Award, the Aaron Copland prize from ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers), the Artists International Award, a Kosciuszko Foundation Prize, and an Artistic Excellence Award from the New York State Senate.

An active proponent of new music, Mr. Cesarczyk has worked with contemporary greats such as George Crumb, both at the George Crumb Festival in New York, and in collaboration with the composer for his “George Crumb 70th Birthday Album,” released by Bridge Records (1999). A composer in his own right, Mr. Cesarczyk’s Debut CD “Polish Folk Melodies” (2009), featured his arrangements of Polish music for the guitar. His most recent arrangements include music by the King of Thailand and can be heard on the CD “Ekachai Jearakul Plays the Music of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej,” Bangkok, Thailand (2011).

Mr. Cesarczyk began guitar studies with his father, and was educated in New York City, including at the prestigious La Guardia High School for the Performing Arts. He received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Manhattan School of Music, and earned a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) degree, at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. His most influential teachers were guitarists David Starobin and Jerry Willard.

Since 2009, Paul Cesarczyk serves as the Guitar Department Chair at Mahidol University College of Music, in Thailand. He is also on the faculty of the Cremona International Music Academy and Competition, in Italy, during the summer months. His dedication to teaching has produced numerous prize winners in national and international competitions. Mr. Cesarczyk performs on a guitar made by John Price and uses Augustine strings exclusively.

Cherryl J. Hayes is an accomplished, vibrant jazz vocalist with a voice and style to die for, especially when it comes to the vocalization of scat. Additionally she is a skilled interpreter of the great jazz singers who preceded her, such as Sarah Vaughn, Billlie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald. A commanding presence in any setting, Cherryl often demonstrates her versatility by shifting gears in a heartbeat from the up-tempo scatted bebop of “Dont Mean a Thing” to beautiful ballads like “The Nearness of You”. She has a phenomenal vocal range of three and a half octaves. For someone who has no formal training in music Cherryl has come a long way. Formerly, she was an accounting specialist at a Telephone Communication Company in Indianapolis. First discovered by a pianist friend who persuaded her to come on stage one evening about 15 years ago she has since netted accolades for her performances in the U.S. and overseas and has sang in musicals and plays such as Aint Misbehav n  and Nunsense.

Ms. Cherryl Hayes has performed in the United States, Europe and Asia. She has appeared at some of New York City premiere jazz clubs such as Tavern on the Green in Thailand she performs at the Oriental Hotel s Bamboo Bar. Most notably, since 1997, Ms Hayes has had the privilege and pleasure to sing for the King and Queen of Thailand on no less than 10 separate occasions. Recently she was the opening act for the Royale Jazz Festival, Bangkok Thailand Sanam Suapa.

Her popularity as a jazz performer is a result of her unique style as well as the warmth and energy she brings to classical jazz standards. Ms. Hayes is currently on her third tour of Asia. Thus far, she s performed in Istanbul, Bangkok, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Ms. Hayes is currently on faculty with Mahiol University, Bangkok Thailand where she teachers vocal majors.

Tyler Capp (b. 1983) writes relentless, tonally charged, trans-stylistic works in an attempt to reconcile his diverse influences with the curious predicament of being a concert music composer in the 21st century. Of his work, Lee Passarella (Audiophile Audition) writes: “Capp’s music suggests an attractive, viable rapprochement between . . . styles that are often seen as disparate (and that sound even more so when a less sensitive musician tries to yoke them together).”
Tyler’s music as been performed throughout the world, with works featured at the highSCORE Music Festival (Italy), June in Buffalo, and the Thailand International Composition Festival, among others. He has also received fellowships from CULTIVATE to compose for the Music From Copland House Ensemble, and the UC Davis Composition Workshop. In 2010, Tyler’s piece Stranger Variations for violin was released on Stony Brook Soundings, Vol. II (Bridge Records 9319), and his work Cryptogram for wind ensemble was the recipient of a 2013 Morton Gould Young Composer Award from the ASCAP Foundation.
Tyler has been awarded numerous residencies throughout the United States, including a coveted Copland House Residency Award, allowing him to live and work in Aaron Copland’s home studio for two months. Most recently he was the winner of the National Association of Composers, USA Young Composers Competition, and received a grant for a new piece from the Atlantic Coast Conference Band Directors Association.
Tyler holds degrees from the University of Delaware, Stony Brook University, and the University of Missouri-Kansas City where he was a Chancellor’s Doctoral Fellow. His composition teachers have included Jennifer Margaret Barker, Chen Yi, James Mobberley, Paul Rudy, Sheila Silver, Peter Winkler, and Zhou Long. In 2015, Tyler accepted a position as full-time lecturer in Music Composition and Theory at the College of Music, Mahidol University in Thailand.

Judy Bozone’s music is eclectic and vivid, like the composer herself. She completed her Bachelor’s degree in composition with minors in philosophy and history at Baylor University in Waco, Texas before completing both her Masters and Doctorate degrees at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre and Dance in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She has been a participant at the Bang on A Can and Aspen Music Festivals and has enjoyed many other opportunities working alongside today’s widely multi-faceted generation of performers. Judy’s music actively explores texture, tonality and space while maintaining a strong perspective. Influenced and fascinated by both the sonic and visual arts, her most elaborate piece to date, The Seasons of a Tourist for Chamber Winds and Percussion, draws from a hybrid of creative resources.

Composers Michael Colgrass and David Lang have respectively identified Judy as having a “voice of her own” and “offering a unique beauty.” Composer Michael Daugherty, at the University of Michigan, has been a consistent supporter of Judy’s music as he finds it “creative and original, slightly demented and interesting.” Composer Evan Chambers comments Judy’s music to be “an experience of chemical reaction.” Judy currently teaches composition, electronic music, advanced orchestration and form & analysis at Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand.

Skills&Teaching Subjects:   
recorder playing, recorder and chamber music teaching, early music, solfege, ear training, & Kodály method

Strength: 
Due to having attended numerous master courses given by Dutch professors, I have an above-average knowledge of the technics of recorder playing and of the articulation, rhetoric, ornamentation, and stylistic problems of renaissance and baroque music. I can play and teach all types of recorder (soprano, alto, tenor, bass etc.). As a teacher, I have succeeded to develop considerable skill in conveying not just the knowledge and skills necessary to play the recorder, but also the ability to understand and love music, and to gain self-knowledge and self-confidence through music. While I am teaching, my long term objective is that the student eventually become more self-sufficient in the understanding of the language of music, and in the self-expression through the medium of music.
