Menuhin Academy in trouble as big Swiss rolls

Menuhin Academy in trouble as big Swiss rolls

Swiss media are reporting that the International Menuhin Music Academy, founded by Yehudi Menuhin in 1977, is running a deficit of two million francs after its main philnathropist Aline Foriel-Destezet walked away.

Its board president resigned in June and its artistic director Renaud Capucon appears to have departed. Le Temps alleges he was paid 200,000 francs a year.

Full story here.

Capucon, 48, is the premier French violinist, a friend of President Macron.

Yehudi Menuhin died in 1999.

The post Menuhin Academy in trouble as big Swiss rolls appeared first on Slippedisc.
