In the year of Yehudi Menuhin’s 100th birthday, the Menuhin competition will return to London. As a press release says, „Yehudi Menuhin lived much of his life in Britain, holding British citizenship and receiving a peerage as Baron Menuhin of Stoke d’Abernon in 1993. One of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, Menuhin left an amazing legacy particularly in the field of music education. To honour and celebrate his life and legacy, the Menuhin Competition 2016 will stage a 10-day festival of events and concerts in London from 7 – 17 April 2016.“
The 2014 competition will take place end of February in Austin/Texas.
