Tokyo born Kumi Liley is the manager of Yamaha Artist Services Europe in London and she comments “We want to become a vibrant player within London's world class music scene and we hope these Chamber concerts will introduce new audiences to live classical music in an intimate and up-close setting. The series will also provide exposure and publicity for some of the UK's very best emerging classical musicians."
The London based artist centre of Yamaha Artists Services Europe is part of a global network spanning Paris, New York, Tokyo, Beijing, Taipei, Shanghai and Seoul. These facilities function as vibrant international hubs providing musicians, teachers, promoters and students access to the best quality concert instruments matched by top-level technical service. Throughout 2009 the centre will host a wide range of events and activities in association with promoters, record labels and conservatoires including lunchtime concerts, evening events and master-classes. Seating for the Chamber at Chappell series is inevitably limited and early booking is strongly recommended.
