"Sharing Passion & Performance"
at Prolight+Sound and Musikmesse 2018

Yamaha will exhibit a large range of new products featuring the latest technology and new exciting features at Frankfurt Messe from 11th April to 14th April in the Portalhaus (next to Hall 11). This year, the company will make its booth a more exciting place to be with many activities designed not only to inform but also to entertain in order to demonstrate its 'Passion for Music'.

There will be live performances from great artists and a range of other exciting activities including 'learn to play', keynote speakers (talking about the future of music) and its own unique Yamaha 'Late Night Show' running all day that will be covering a wide range of music related topics all in an entertaining style. Furthermore Yamaha will offer songwriters the rare chance to meet A&R managers from major record labels to get feedback on their own songs and qualify for the finals of the European Songwriting Awards.

The company will also provide a variety of video contents, which can be enjoyed at https://europe.yamaha.com/en/news_events/contents/musikmesse/. The two roving musician reporters - Parisa Tarjomani and Luca Hänni - will be exploring the Yamaha passion for music by interviewing visitors and artists, as well as taking part in the many fun events.

Yamaha also participate in Prolight+Sound 2018 at Frankfurt Messe from 10th April to 13th April in Hall 3.1 / Stand E50.
