On 2 June 2016, the 14th Jamie’s Concert was held in Kawasaki, Japan.
For the first time in the history of this project, Noriko Ogawa gave a Japanese contemporary music recital, performing pieces for piano by Motoharu Kawashima as well as Akiko Yamane and a piece for piano and computer by Yoshihiro Kanno.
During the recital, the audience had also the good fortune to hear Akiko Yamane and Yoshihiro Kanno talking about their own music.
Before the concert, Norihiko Fukuda, the mayor of Kawasaki, gave a speech to remind everyone that the UK national team would stay in the city for its pre-training camp in the lead-up to the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020.
