Founded in 1958 by M.L. Usni Pramoj, Pro Musica began as a string quartet and eventually grew into a small chamber orchestra. The orchestra received support from the Goethe Institute, various cultural missions, and a few corporate sponsors, making it Thailand’s first non-government-sponsored professional orchestra. With the aim of promoting classical music in Thailand, the orchestra performed regularly until 1975, when it metamorphosed into the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra. Recently, it became apparent that there was still a need for a small and more mobile chamber orchestra. Thus, the Pro Musica Orchestra was revived.

Pro Musica creates and promotes new approaches to classical music. We want to change the image of classical music to attract new audiences, push boundaries, and explore fresh ways of programming classical music, both within and outside of its traditional settings.
Community is a fundamental aspect of our experience of music. It unites people, forming bonds that might not exist otherwise. It connects different cultures, promoting diversity and growth. Music encourages creative thinking, discipline, leadership, and even problem solving.
Along with commissioning, performing, presenting, recording, Pro Musica achieves its not-for-profit mission through teaching, mentoring, and encouraging the next generations of artists and audiences.
Pro Musica is a not-for-profit organization supported in large part by the generosity of organizations and individuals who value its programs. Gifts are at every level are deeply valued. Join Pro Musica’s community of supporters.
