Yamaha Artist Services, Inc. (also known as YASI)[2] is a provider of professional services exclusively for performing music artists, concert venues, performing arts organizations and educational institutions.[3] Located at 689 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York City, YASI is owned by the American subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation[4] and features rehearsal, recording and performance spaces for musicians.[2]
The YASI was brought into being in April 1987 as "Yamaha Concert & Artist Services",[5] in the United States, having originated that same year in Paris, France, as "Centre Européen des Activités Artistiques" (C.E.A.A.).[6] For a time, Yamaha managed the program within its new West 57th Street "Yamaha Communications Center", or "YCC" facility, located near Carnegie Hall.[7] YCC closed in 1992.[8] In May 2004, the current facility was opened.[9]
