SPRING/SUMMER 2016


”<br />

I truly believe that music<br />

and the other arts which have<br />

their source in the realm of<br />

the senses can exercise a great<br />

influence on the way a human<br />

grows and can also affect the<br />

values and ethical assumptions<br />

of society, which is too often<br />

influenced by judgements born<br />

of frustration, prejudice and<br />

the baser motives of revenge<br />

and punishment.<br />

Yehudi Menuhin<br />

Welcome to The Menuhin Hall as we commemorate<br />

the centenary of our Founder with an exciting series<br />

of events culminating in the summer with what we<br />

hope will be a glorious Menuhin 100 Festival at the<br />

start of July.<br />

The Menuhin 100 Festival starts with a concert by past pupil<br />

Nicola Benedetti, followed by a fundraising dinner, and finishes with<br />

the great actor Samuel West performing in ‘Shakespeare and Music’<br />

alongside our pupils. In between, there will be an organ recital by<br />

James O’Donnell in St. Mary’s Church, Stoke d’Abernon, concerts<br />

in the grotto at Painshill Park, ‘Menuhin on Film’ presented by<br />

Bruno Monsaingeon and a very special series of six Showcase<br />

Concerts performed by the pupils.<br />

We have a glittering array of artists appearing earlier in the year as<br />

part of our Celebrity Series. At the end of January, Jeremy Menuhin,<br />

along with Mookie Menuhin and Sasha Rozhdestvensky, Steven Isserlis<br />

and Stephen Hough in February, Joji Hattori with our own School<br />

orchestra in April (as part of the Menuhin International Violin<br />

Competition), and the Chiaroscuro String Quartet (led by past pupil,<br />

Alina Ibragimova) in May. To complete the list of celebrities, the<br />

great guitarist John Williams returns with multi-instrumentalist<br />

Richard Harvey in June. On 21st April (the eve of Yehudi Menuhin’s<br />

birthday), Humphrey Burton, his biographer, will give a lecture<br />

about the great man – an event which is not to be missed.<br />

As well as other Showcase Concerts given by the pupils (on 4 and<br />

26 February, 17 March, 5 May and a lunchtime concert on 25 May),<br />

as usual we welcome several organisations to the Hall – Surrey Mozart<br />

Players (23 April), the National Youth Harp Orchestra (24 April)<br />

and Australian National Touring Opera (18 June).<br />

Sadly, this is the last brochure produced by our Hall Manager,<br />

Ambrosine Desoutter. She has been with the School since 1999<br />

and Hall Manager since its opening in 2006. She has steered the<br />

Hall through its first ten years with great skill, dedication and passion.<br />

Very many of you reading this will have experienced at first hand the<br />

charm and sense of joy with which she did her job. We thank her so<br />

very much for all she has done for the Hall. Alice Benzing takes over<br />

the post in January. As we wish Ambrosine the best of luck for her<br />

future endeavours, we welcome Alice, whom we know is very much<br />

looking forward to joining the team and presenting top-class events<br />

in The Menuhin Hall in the months and years ahead.<br />

Anniversary Appeal<br />

Appeal update<br />

Please accept my sincere thanks for your remarkable support towards<br />

our Anniversary Appeal. Thanks to you, the School has already secured<br />

a phenomenal £2.57 million towards the Music Studios alone!<br />

This progress has been matched by the equally rapid construction of<br />

this building as many concert-goers will have seen. Whether you have<br />

chosen to support the creation of first-rate facilities in which students<br />

can practise or the provision of much-needed bursaries, your generosity<br />

will enable the School to nurture exceptional musical talent as never<br />

before. However, as we enter the final phase of the Anniversary Appeal,<br />

we continue our efforts to raise just over £900k before construction<br />

is completed!<br />

I am delighted to announce that, thanks to the generosity of our Appeal<br />

Chairman Stuart Mitchell and a number of other special donors, the<br />

School is able to offer up to £500,000 of Matched Funding for all gifts<br />

received before 1 July 2016. This means that any donation made will<br />

be matched £1 for £1, in effect doubling the value of your donation.<br />

There are a number of ways in which you can make the most of<br />

this opportunity:<br />

• Join others in supporting a named Music Studio, room or a concert.<br />

• Sign up for a number of highly memorable events throughout the<br />

centenary year, culminating in the ten-day Gala Festival.<br />

• Participate in our ‘Buy a Brick’ scheme. If you would like to purchase an<br />

individual brick paver for display in the courtyard of the Music Studios<br />

for £50, you will be able to leave your mark for generations to come.<br />

For further information, please contact me direct on 01932 584797<br />

or at anthony.medhurst@yehudimenuhinschool.co.uk<br />

I look forward to hearing from you.<br />

Thank you.<br />

Showcase Concerts<br />

Showcase Concerts provide an opportunity for<br />

pupils to perform in front of an appreciative,<br />

friendly and supportive audience and, as such,<br />

are part of the pupils’ education – a chance for<br />

them to develop the ability to communicate<br />

their love of music.<br />

Programmes are selected from a broad range<br />

of music that is being studied at any one time<br />

in the School. The Director of Music consults<br />

with the instrumental teachers and together<br />

they decide which pieces are ready to present<br />

to the public.<br />

Oliver Gibbs Tonio<br />

Sasho Ujgunoski Canio<br />

Diego Gaston Zamudio Peppe<br />

Inspired by an incident which occurred to Leoncavallo<br />

as a child, this highly impassioned and dramatic opera<br />

is composed in verismo style.<br />

Canio and his travelling comedy troupe arrive at a<br />

town for a show scheduled for the coming evening.<br />

Unbeknownst to him, his wife Nedda has fallen in<br />

love with another man.<br />

As Canio discovers the truth about Nedda,<br />

he is confronted with the fact that in spite<br />

of his heartbreak the show must go on.<br />

When the curtain does go up, all boundaries of fiction<br />

and reality become blurred and the audience is left in<br />

nail-biting suspense as to what unscripted fate is left<br />

for our actors.<br />

Sung in Italian with English surtitles and<br />

The Friends of The Yehudi Menuhin School<br />

continue to support the School by regularly<br />

attending many of the concerts held at<br />

the Hall. Not only are they a warm and<br />

appreciative audience for our very talented<br />

young musicians but, as a group, they also<br />

contribute in other ways. These include the<br />

organisation of a number of fundraising<br />

events which help to finance pupil bursaries.<br />

Some of these are held at the Hall itself,<br />

such as the Bridge Teas, whilst others are<br />

held outside the School. We are also looking<br />

at new initiatives that encourage everyone<br />

to take part whilst enjoying a convivial<br />

atmosphere. Look out for further details.<br />

Many of our long-standing Friends tell us<br />

that they particularly enjoy following our<br />

pupils as they progress through the School<br />

and, indeed, after they leave and become<br />

professional musicians. Friends may,<br />

therefore, be particularly interested in the<br />

summer exhibition of work by the artist<br />

Geraldine van Heemstra who over the last<br />

year has been drawing the pupils as they<br />

rehearse and perform. Full details are on<br />

page 6 of this brochure.<br />

We are very grateful for all of the support<br />

which the Friends give to the School. In<br />

return Friends enjoy benefits such as priority<br />

booking for concerts, termly mailings and<br />

invitations to preconcert receptions and<br />

other Friends events.<br />

incredible rise in standards of music education in the<br />

UK, so that, today, our approach and our achievements<br />

are admired throughout the world. At this forum we will<br />

discuss what that future should and could hold. Please<br />
