Lord Menuhin founded the Friends of The
Yehudi Menuhin School in 1971 together
with a few local supporters of the School.
Since then the Friends have grown to
over 750 supporters from all over the
globe, offering financial assistance to the
School and a warm, supportive presence
at concerts. Many of our Friends enjoy
following the journey of our pupils as they
progress through the School and into the
wider world as professional musicians.
