Sussex Snowdrop Trust brings brilliant Yehudi Menuhin School performers to Arundel Cathedral

The trust provides nursing care at home for local children who have a life-threatening illness or who may be terminally ill.

Concert spokeswoman Lucy Ashworth said: “The school has produced amazing musicians such as Nigel Kennedy and Vanessa Mae as well BBC Young musician of the Year.

“The Yehudi Menuhin School near Guildford is one of the most prestigious music schools in the world for violinists. Only five per cent of applicants who apply for a place are accepted which indicates the very high standard of musicians who attend.

“The Yehudi Menuhin School is home to just over 80 young musicians from all over the world, aged between nine and 19. Becoming a professional musician is their aim, and one of the benefits to the community at large is their joy in giving performances in a wide variety of venues and situations.

“Concert programmes such as the one being presented in Arundel Cathedral are made up of repertoire which has reached a high level of performance in the weeks immediately preceding the event.

“Therefore we are not yet able to confirm the programme for November 10, except to say that it will probably include a sonata and almost definitely a showpiece or two. Many of the senior students are preparing for college auditions and so will have suitable repertoire to present to an audience at this time.
