Following on from the success and critical acclaim of the inaugural conservatoire lunchtime recital season, which began in September 2007 and finished in June 2008, Yamaha in conjunction with Yamaha Artist Services Europe (London) presented a second full season of concerts, from Autumn 2008, featuring some of the very best pianists from our London conservatoires.

Providing a wonderful opportunity for highly gifted young artists to perform at an excellent venue on superb instruments, these recitals will also give a unique insight into the extraordinary wealth of talent being nurtured in our conservatoires. The popularity of these concerts has led us to expand the officngs, which now include an early evening chamber music series and we are also exploring showcasing some of the best emerging jazz talent too.

The performances are free of charge and take place in the Recital Hall of Yamaha Artist Services Europe (London), situated within the historic Piano Hall at Chappell's West End Store. Lunchtime recitals commence at 1pm. Evening concerts start around 6pm. Seating is limited so please call in advance to reserve your place or enquire about future performances by calling 020 7432 4439 or email Kumi Liley, Yamaha Artist Services Europe (London), Chappell of Bond Street, 152-160 Wardour Street, London W1F 8Y
