The foundation and the school; the festival and the academy; the charitable organizations and the competitions he created - they are his evident legacy.

This is what took him into the concentration camps, soon after the end of Second Word War. Just as, later, he helped to send young musicians to play in prisons and hospitals.

Yehudi Menuhin saw music as a way of making peace. He didn't simply believe that, he lived it.

The Yehudi Menuhin Archive was sold in 2004 to the Royal Academy of Music in London.
