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.
