Founded in August 2012 on the initiative of the Goethe-Institut Southeast Asia, the 26-member group consists of young musicians from Thailand, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar and Malaysia.
The musicians, who were chosen at auditions, come together twice a year at a summer school at Mahidol College in Salaya, Thailand.
Under the direction of German conductor Nicolas Pasquet, they rehearse a concert programme that is presented first in Thailand and then in other countries.
The project is about high quality music, but also about a common musical spirit.
On Monday, the orchestra will perform several classical music pieces, including Violin Concerto in A-Major by Mozart, String Symphony in H-Minor by Mendelssohn, and Symphony No 5 in B-Major by Schubert.
German violin soloist Tobias Feldmann will also perform.
The concert will start at 8pm at 77 Hao Nam Street. Entry will be free.
