Johan Dalene
Yehudi Menuhin founded his famous school in England

children from all over the world to pursue their love of music,
develop their musical potential, and achieve standards
of performance on stringed instruments and piano at the
highest level.

The Alternative Menuhin
Yehudi Menuhin was the most prominent classical
musician of his generation to embark on cross-genre
collaborations and his work with Indian musician Ravi
Shankar and jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli has become
famous. Curated by British violinist, songwriter, composer
and Artistic Director of the JMI, Sophie Solomon, this
evening will celebrate the musical diversity of the violin
across genres in a tribute to Yehudi Menuhin. An all-star
line-up: Tcha Limberger, John Etheridge, Dave Kelbie,
