International success on the classical music stage comes with devotion and a real passion to pursue what one embraces. In the case of teen sisters Valika and Akira Trivisvavet, it was Thai culture.
The duo showcased their musical talent by playing the traditional Thai music instruments khim (dulcimer) and ranat ek (xylophone) at last year's Golden Classical Music Awards International competition where they won first place. They were also invited to perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York recently.
