Bruno Monsaingeon:
Yehudi on Film
Bruno Monsaingeon is an extraordinary musician
and film-maker. He has persuaded some of the
world’s greatest performers to allow him to film
them performing and talking about music, and has
produced a large number of exceptional films –
including those on Nadia Boulanger, Glenn Gould,
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Sviatoslav Richter,
to name but a few.
He worked a great deal with Yehudi Menuhin, creating
not just the well-known ‘Violin of the Century’ but also
filming many other rehearsals, concerts and interviews
with the great violinist. This evening he will discuss his
experiences of working with Yehudi.

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. At this forum we will
discuss what that future should and could hold. Please
consult the website for further details.
