Over the past five years, AXA has been an instrumental force in bringing world-class performances to Thai audiences, spanning opera, ballet, contemporary dance, and music by leading international artists and companies. Through this sustained partnership, AXA continues to make internationally acclaimed performances more accessible to local audiences while fostering a deeper appreciation for the performing arts.
"Five years is not just a milestone — it is a statement of intent," said Guillaume Mirabaud, Chief Executive Officer of AXA Insurance Thailand. "AXA's continued partnership with Bangkok's International Festival of Dance & Music speaks to our belief that a great company must contribute to the cultural and social fabric of the country it calls home. We are deeply proud of what this partnership stands for, and equally excited about what lies ahead."
"Great customer experience goes beyond being there when the unexpected happens — it's about creating moments that matter. By bringing world-class performances closer to our customers through this partnership, AXA is living our belief that true protection enriches every dimension of life. We look forward to sharing this remarkable festival with the people who matter most to us: our customers," said Paweena Khemarangsan, Chief Customer Officer of AXA Insurance Thailand.
"Five years ago, AXA chose to back something larger than a single season. They backed a vision for what Bangkok could be on the international cultural map. Today, in our 28th edition, that vision is more alive than ever. Partnerships like this don't just fund performances; they help position Bangkok among the world's greatest cultural capitals," said Rasina Uberoi Bajaj, Managing Director at International Cultural Promotions.
Bangkok's 28th International Festival of Dance & Music will take place from 5 September - 17 October 2026 at the Main Hall, Thailand Cultural Centre.
