Our company history
To support the plethora of cultural events held at ‘the social hub of Oxford’, The Oxford Union, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious debating societies, has partnered with Shigeru Kawai to become its official Piano Partner and accompany the wide variety of musical activities on offer within The Union.
Prize-winning international pianist, Eri Yamamoto, visited London’s Royal College of Music this week for a 3-day recording session on the Shigeru Kawai SK-6 piano currently at home in the college’s Performance Studio.
I well recall the thrill of my very first music shop experience. The sign above the window said ‘Maurice Plaquet’ with the ‘M’ written as a triplet and the ‘P’ as a single down-stem quaver, and it was located on the Uxbridge Road in Shepherds Bush, London, just around the corner from my father’s church.
The eternal pursuit of absolute perfection of sound and quality has brought the company to where it is today. And at the same time, we can also look forward to seeing what Kawai has to offer in terms of innovations and improvements for the future.
