THE FRIENDS OF THE YEHUDI MENUHIN SCHOOL
The Friends' organisation was founded in 1971 by Lord Menuhin and a number of neighbours of the School who saw the need to raise money and provide a regular local audience to support the pupils. Concerts are held in the 300-seat Menuhin Hall which is situated in the grounds of the School. The charity is run by a Management Committee whose members are elected from among the Friends' membership.

THE BENEFITS OF BEING A FRIEND
The Friends offers a unique musical experience where concerts provide opportunities for the pupils to perform to a supportive audience. You will be able to follow the pupils' progress as they develop and work towards a professional career. After minimal administrative expenses, all income from the charity is granted back to the School in various ways to help the pupils. Members receive an annual membership card and concert calendar. In addition, each term you will be sent a programme of events, a booking form and a newsletter together with any additional relevant information. You will be given the opportunity to bring a paying guest to most of the Friends' concerts but members of the Association will always have priority. International and Non-concert-attending Friends will receive the annual membership card and a termly programme of events together with a newsletter and information about concerts open to the public at which one or more pupils will be performing.
