Piano Circus is a contemporary six-piece piano ensemble, established in 1989 to perform Steve Reich's 'Six Pianos'. The medium proved to be very popular with audiences and intriguing to so many leading contemporary composers around the world, that the ensemble has amassed over 100 specially written compositions.

Piano Circus upgraded their main touring and workshop instruments in early 2009 to Yamaha CP33 stage pianos. Yamaha is delighted to have a growing association with Piano Circus, which also shares our passion for music education, as witnessed by its extensive workshop and masterclass activities in the UK and beyond. We plan to develop some joint music education activities and will announce these here in due course.

Further information about Piano Circus can be found on its website and its MySpace page.
