How the Menuhin Competition works

The Menuhin Competition is run by the Yehudi Menuhin Young Violinists International Competition Trust, a UK-based charity.

The Trustees nominate an Executive Committee consisting of the charity's Chairman, the Artistic Director and the General Manager. The Executive Committee deals with the day-to-day management of the competition and related activities and events.

The Menuhin Competition takes place every two years, and is organised as a collaboration between the Trust and host organisations of the city or country in which the competition takes place.

Since its inception in 1983 it has taken place in Folkestone, England; Boulogne-sur-Mer, France; London, England; Cardiff, Wales; and Oslo, Norway (2010).
