SUMMARY:Inspiration from Thai and Northern Thai Culture in Music Composition
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nThis lecture explores how Thai and Northern Thai music and cultural traditions can inspire contemporary music composition. Through selected works by the composer—including Dances of a Hill Tribe\, Fall (Variations on Colors)\, and Loi-Krathong (The Light Festival)—the session demonstrates how traditional melodic gestures\, rhythmic patterns\, improvisational practices\, tuning systems\, and cultural symbolism can be transformed into modern chamber and ensemble works. \nThe session highlights the coexistence of Thai and Western tuning systems\, the adaptation of hill tribe drum patterns\, and the role of improvisation in Thai classical music. Combining cultural insight with accessible musical analysis\, the talk offers participants a deeper understanding of how local traditions\, personal narrative\, and contemporary compositional techniques can merge to create distinctive and meaningful works. \nThe talk is designed to be engaging for both musicians and non-musicians\, making cultural and compositional concepts clear and approachable. \nThroughout the talk Aj. Chaipruck will share his compositions\, giving detailed explanations of his compositional choices. There will be opportunities for Q & A both during and after the presentation. \nPresenter:\nAj. Chaipruck Mekara is a well known composer\, conductor and educator. A native of Chiang Mai\, and graduate of Payap University\, he went on to earn a Master of Music degree\, double majoring in Music Composition and Clarinet Performance\, from Roosevelt University. In 2003\, Aj. Chaipruck received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Music Composition from Northwestern University. \nLike many Asian composers who pursued education abroad\, Mekara realized the value of his native culture while in a foreign land. His music seeks to blend the aesthetic philosophies of the East with the compositional techniques of the West. His works have been performed by the Thai Youth Symphony Orchestra\, the Chiangmai Philharmonic Orchestra\, Northshore Symphony Orchestra\, Whitworth\nWind Symphony\, Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra\, at the China-ASEAN Music Week (2015)\, and by various ensembles including the TIMF Ensemble (Korea) and TICF artists-in-residence (Thailand). His compositions have also premiered at the World Choir Games (2012\, Cincinnati\, OH)\, the International Trumpet Guild (2011\, Minneapolis\, MN)\, the Thailand International Composition Festival\, and the Asian Young Musicians’ Connection. \nAj. Chaipruck was invited as a conductor and composer in residence for the prestigious China-ASEAN Music Festival from 2015 to 2019\, held in Nanning\, Quangxi\, China. In 2005 he founded the Chiangmai Philharmonic Orchestra Foundation which includes The Chiangmai Philharmonic Orchestra and The Chiangmai Philharmonic Band\, and where he still serves as conductor and music director. Additionally\, he is an assistant professor at the College of Music\, Payap University\, where he teaches Music Composition\, Clarinet\, Saxophone\, and other subjects. \nIn September of 2025\, Aj. Chaipruck’s talk at Lifelong Learning Payap on Using Thai Elements in Western Music Composition was well attended and received overwhelmingly positive reviews. His informal presentation style\, clear English\,humor\, and ability to make complex musical concepts accessible to non-musicians make him an excellent presenter. \n  \nCOST : 350 THB

SUMMARY:From Missionaries to Spies: The Impact of the Young Family in Southeast
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, June 29: From Missionaries to CIA Agents (1868-1952)\nMonday\, July 6: CIA Role in Laos Secret War (1952 – 1975)\nTime: 9:30 am – noon\nDescription\nThe Young family has had a profound impact on the religious\, military\, and political milieu of Southeast Asia\, particularly among highlander populations. Bill Young was undoubtedly the most famous\, spending almost his entire life in the Mekong region. \nWilliam Young\, Bill’s grandfather\, was the first in the family to arrive in Asia. As a Baptist missionary in the so-called “Unadministered Territories” of British Burma\, William survived multiple assassination attempts and performed over 40\,000 baptisms — amassing the largest number of converts in the history of the American Baptist Foreign Mission. \nIn 1942\, William’s two sons\, raised amid these tribes\, left missionary work to join America’s spy agencies as “tribal experts.” Their assignment: to convert their Christian flock once again\, this time into guerrilla battalions to fight the invading Japanese. The Young family\, at the CIA’s behest\, would later deploy these Baptist warriors against communists across Southeast Asia. \nBy the 1950s\, every male in the family was working for the CIA. By the 1960s\, Bill was able to capitalize on his family’s reputation as missionaries-turned- intelligence-operatives to amass a multi-ethnic army of more than 5\,000 guerillas\, part of America’s secret army in Laos of around 30\,000 men — the largest armed force in the history of the CIA. \nThis course will offer a detailed look into the many generations of the Young family and their influence and impact in the Mekong region. \nPresenter:\nDavid Lawitts was born and raised in Brooklyn\, New York. He first arrived in Thailand in 2002 on a study abroad program. \nHe has been a research fellow at Chiang Mai University\, where he became fluent in Thai\, proficient in a number of hill tribe languages\, and earned a Master’s Degree in Sustainable Development. \nDavid has filmed a number of documentaries about the politics of ethnic minorities in Southeast Asia. Many of these minority groups (the Wa\, Lahu\, and Shan to name a few) were converted to Christianity in the 1800s by American missionaries\, and many later joined the CIA during the Secret War in Laos in the 1960s. \nDavid has spent the last decade interviewing these Christian secret warriors\, many of whom will appear in the documentary films shown in this Life Long Learning course. \nCOST : 350 THB per session or 600 THB for both sessions
