Harvard University's "Din & Tonics" Concert
Siam City Hotel
Si Ayuthaya Rd at Phayathai
BTS Phayathai Station Exit 4
Price: 450, 200 Students
PLEASE NOTE: There will be two performances with the first on 1 August.
In the past few years the Siam City Hotel has been the recipient of superb performances by renowned a cappella ensembles from esteemed institutions such as Harvard University. In keeping with our reputation, we are proud to welcome back Harvard's very own, Din & Tonics. Primarily performing jazz standards, but also throwing in a bit of gospel and calypso, the Dins continue to delight audiences by combining the traditional with the unexpected. They consistently add original, humorous, engaging choreography, performing a cappella "with a twist."
Established in 1979, the Dins have garnered a world-famous reputation, sold out concerts across America and around the world. This year alone, the Dins performed at Fenway Park for the Red Sox vs. Yankees, welcomed Andy Garcia to Harvard, recorded an album in the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, TN, and performed for jazz legend Herbie Hancock.
Celebrating their tenth biennial world tour, Thailand is just one of the many countries the Din's will visit to share their versatile repertoire before returning to America. If you like good singing and appreciate impeccable musicality, sharp wit and a classy performance, don't miss The Din & Tonics.
For booking and reservations call 02-247-0123, ext. 1928, 1912
