Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River presents Riverside Rhapsody — a one-night-only musical celebration that captures the essence of summer through sound, setting, and shared artistry.

Held in the hotel’s serene Arrival Courtyard, the evening begins at 6:00 pm with a welcome cocktail and curated canapés served amid candlelight and tranquil water features. Guests are invited to settle in as the evening opens with a special 15-minute performance by talented student musicians from Shrewsbury International School Bangkok — a showcase of the city’s next generation of musical talent.

“We believe in crafting experiences that linger in the heart long after the music fades. Riverside Rhapsody is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of community, culture, and the timeless joy that live music brings,” says Lubosh Barta, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River. “We invite our guests to join us by the river, immerse themselves in the sounds of summer, and create unforgettable memories in an evening of elegance and artistic spirit.”

As twilight deepens, the rhythm builds with a 45-minute performance by a distinguished string quartet. Curated around the theme of summer, the repertoire blends light classical pieces, contemporary favourites, and spirited Latin and tango-inspired works — specially arranged to evoke warmth, vibrancy, and joy.

The quartet features four acclaimed musicians whose international credits include Carnegie Hall, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, and Vienna’s Golden Hall. Together, their diverse backgrounds and genre-spanning artistry deliver a powerful musical experience that merges refinement with modern energy.
