We were sad to learn recently of the passing of the exceptional pianist Masayuki Tayama. He passed away in late 2023. Masa was a regular performer at our lunchtime concerts and appeared just last July. We send love to all his family and friends and we dedicate this year's series of concerts to his memory.

More about Masa...

Masa was a born in Japan, he spent much of his childhood in London and made his radio debut at the age of 10, subsequently winning several prizes at national and international competitions. Highly experienced as both a performer and pedagogue, his playing style was one of stunning sensitivity and incredible power. Extremely versatile, he specialized in the piano works of Rachmaninov, though he was equally adept and comfortable with the music of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and their contemporaries.
