Britain's What's On Event Guide
Yehudi Menuhin School Musicians
Pinner Music Festival's second lunchtime concert of the week is given by pupils at the Yehudi Menuhin School.
The School was founded in 1963 by the celebrated violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who feared that the lack of specialist music provision for children at an early age would result in an irreversible decline in the provision of world-class instrumentalists. Inspired by a visit to Moscow’s Central School for Young Musicians, Menuhin set out to develop a specialist music school in the UK for extraordinarily gifted children. These boys and girls, aged between seven and nineteen, would come from all corners of the globe, regardless of their race, creed or parents’ financial position.
Their updated recital includes Beethoven’s Piano Trio Op.1 #1, a lovely early work that draws from the influences of Mozart and of Haydn, but already shows Beethoven’s craft and innovation, with a more symphonic approach; and Poulenc’s splendid Violin Sonata, written in memory of the poet Lorca, and a work that was finely recorded by Yehudi Menuhin himself.
