Nattakon Lertwattanaruk
Librarian & Technical Assistant
Originally from Bangkok, Nattakon Lertwattanaruk (b. 2006) is a composer and performer whose work investigates the relationship between anthropogenic presence and contemporary ecological conditions. His compositional practice is characterized by microscopic engagement with musical materials abstracted from their cultural contexts, an interest in instruments as a site of physical exploration and extension, and the integration of multimedia in dialogue with the concert setting.
He is a recipient of the Distinguished Prize at the SCG Young Thai Artist Award (2022, 2024) and has collaborated with ensembles including Tacet(i), the Thai Youth Orchestra, and Kul-Gänte. His work has been presented at numerous international festivals, such as the Thailand New Music and Arts Symposium, IntAct Festival, Princess Galyani Vadhana International Music Festival, PGVIS, and the China-ASEAN Music Festival.
Formative teachers thus far include Piyawat Louilarpprasert, Daniel Pesca, and Mikel Kuehn. Nattakon is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music in Composition at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York.
