The Menuhin 100 Festival starts with a concert by past pupil Nicola Benedetti, followed by a fundraising dinner, and finishes with the great actor Samuel West performing in ‘Shakespeare and Music’ alongside our pupils. In between, there will be an organ recital by James O’Donnell in St. Mary’s Church, Stoke d’Abernon, concerts in the grotto at Painshill Park, ‘Menuhin on Film’ presented by Bruno Monsaingeon and a very special series of six Showcase Concerts performed by the pupils.

We have a glittering array of artists appearing earlier in the year as part of our Celebrity Series. At the end of January, Jeremy Menuhin, along with Mookie Menuhin and Sasha Rozhdestvensky, Steven Isserlis and Stephen Hough in February, Joji Hattori with our own School orchestra in April (as part of the Menuhin International Violin Competition), and the Chiaroscuro String Quartet (led by past pupil, Alina Ibragimova) in May. To complete the list of celebrities, the great guitarist John Williams returns with multi-instrumentalist Richard Harvey in June. On 21st April (the eve of Yehudi Menuhin’s birthday), Humphrey Burton, his biographer, will give a lecture about the great man – an event which is not to be missed.

As well as other Showcase Concerts given by the pupils (on 4 and 26 February, 17 March, 5 May and a lunchtime concert on 25 May), as usual we welcome several organisations to the Hall – Surrey Mozart Players (23 April), the National Youth Harp Orchestra (24 April) and Australian National Touring Opera (18 June).

Sadly, this is the last brochure produced by our Hall Manager, Ambrosine Desoutter. She has been with the School since 1999 and Hall Manager since its opening in 2006. She has steered the Hall through its first ten years with great skill, dedication and passion. Very many of you reading this will have experienced at first hand the charm and sense of joy with which she did her job. We thank her so very much for all she has done for the Hall. Alice Benzing takes over the post in January. As we wish Ambrosine the best of luck for her future endeavours, we welcome Alice, whom we know is very much looking forward to joining the team and presenting top-class events in The Menuhin Hall in the months and years ahead.

EWelcome to The Menuhin Hall as we commemorate the centenary of our Founder with an exciting series of events culminating in the summer with what we hope will be a glorious Menuhin 100 Festival at the start of July.

I truly believe that music and the other arts which have their source in the realm of the senses can exercise a great influence on the way a human grows and can also affect the values and ethical assumptions of society, which is too often influenced by judgements born of frustration, prejudice and the baser motives of revenge and punishment.

Showcase Concerts

thURSDaY 4 fEbRUaRY 7.30PMfRIDaY 26 fEbRUaRY 7.30PMthURSDaY 17 MaRch 7.30PM

Showcase Concerts provide an opportunity for pupils to perform in front of an appreciative, friendly and supportive audience and, as such, are part of the pupils’ education – a chance for them to develop the ability to communicate their love of music.

Programmes are selected from a broad range of music that is being studied at any one time in the School. The Director of Music consults with the instrumental teachers and together they decide which pieces are ready to present to the public.

tIckEtS £17.50

Appeal update Please accept my sincere thanks for your remarkable support towards our Anniversary Appeal. Thanks to you, the School has already secured a phenomenal £2.57 million towards the Music Studios alone!

This progress has been matched by the equally rapid construction of this building as many concert-goers will have seen. Whether you have chosen to support the creation of first-rate facilities in which students can practise or the provision of much-needed bursaries, your generosity will enable the School to nurture exceptional musical talent as never before. However, as we enter the final phase of the Anniversary Appeal, we continue our efforts to raise just over £900k before construction is completed!

I am delighted to announce that, thanks to the generosity of our Appeal Chairman Stuart Mitchell and a number of other special donors, the School is able to offer up to £500,000 of Matched Funding for all gifts received before 1 July 2016. This means that any donation made will be matched £1 for £1, in effect doubling the value of your donation.

There are a number of ways in which you can make the most of this opportunity:

• Join others in supporting a named Music Studio, room or a concert.

• Sign up for a number of highly memorable events throughout the centenary year, culminating in the ten-day Gala festival.

• Participate in our ‘buy a brick’ scheme. If you would like to purchase an individual brick paver for display in the courtyard of the Music Studios for £50, you will be able to leave your mark for generations to come.

For further information, please contact me direct on 01932 584797 or at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.

This ensemble was formed in 2005 and has won plaudits across the world for its performances and outstanding recordings. Gramophone magazine described the quartet as ‘a trailblazer for the authentic performance of High Classical chamber music’.

Humphrey Burton, Yehudi Menuhin’s biographer and ex-Head of Music at the BBC, is well known for his entertaining and informative lectures. We are delighted that he is returning to The Menuhin Hall on the eve of Yehudi's birthday to talk about the great man's life and music-making.

The Friends of The Yehudi Menuhin School continue to support the School by regularly attending many of the concerts held at the Hall. Not only are they a warm and appreciative audience for our very talented young musicians but, as a group, they also contribute in other ways. These include the organisation of a number of fundraising events which help to finance pupil bursaries. Some of these are held at the Hall itself, such as the Bridge Teas, whilst others are held outside the School. We are also looking at new initiatives that encourage everyone to take part whilst enjoying a convivial atmosphere. Look out for further details.

Many of our long-standing Friends tell us that they particularly enjoy following our pupils as they progress through the School and, indeed, after they leave and become professional musicians. Friends may, therefore, be particularly interested in the summer exhibition of work by the artist Geraldine van Heemstra who over the last year has been drawing the pupils as they rehearse and perform. Full details are on page 6 of this brochure.

We are very grateful for all of the support which the Friends give to the School. In return Friends enjoy benefits such as priority booking for concerts, termly mailings and invitations to preconcert receptions and other Friends events.

By ruggiero leoncavallo

Brian Henry Musical Directorrichard Hills PianistSurrey County Youth Choir

Charlotte-Anne Shipley nedda oliver Gibbs Tonio Sasho Ujgunoski Canio Diego Gaston Zamudio Peppe

Inspired by an incident which occurred to leoncavallo as a child, this highly impassioned and dramatic opera is composed in verismo style.

Canio and his travelling comedy troupe arrive at a town for a show scheduled for the coming evening. Unbeknownst to him, his wife nedda has fallen in love with another man.

As Canio discovers the truth about nedda, he is confronted with the fact that in spite of his heartbreak the show must go on.

When the curtain does go up, all boundaries of fiction and reality become blurred and the audience is left in nail-biting suspense as to what unscripted fate is left for our actors.

Sung in Italian with english surtitles and piano accompanist.

As part of the commemoration of our Founder’s centenary, The Yehudi Menuhin School will be hosting a day of speeches and discussions on the future of arts education in the UK. Yehudi Menuhin’s vision in starting a Specialist Music School in England contributed a great deal to the incredible rise in standards of music education in the UK, so that, today, our approach and our achievements are admired throughout the world.

Yehudi Menuhin22 April 1916 – 12 March 1999

I believe that there is something constant in us all, a sense of what is right, a sense of balance, of harmony with ourselves and the world in which we all must live. Yet we also need a sense of hope for something beyond ourselves, which helps us to give our lives proportion and direction. Music lives and breathes to tell us just that: who we are and what we face. In Bach, as in Mozart or Schubert, it is a path between ourselves and the infinite.
