Remembering Zamira Menuhin Benthall 1939-2024

On Sunday 28 September 2025, we welcomed over 300 guests to the Menuhin Hall for a special concert in celebration of the life of Zamira Menuhin Benthall, the beloved daughter of our founder, Yehudi Menuhin.

A remarkable programme of music was performed by current pupils, staff, and distinguished alumni and friends of the School. Together, they created a moving tribute that reflected both Zamira’s enduring connection to the School and her lifelong dedication to the power of music.

The concert not only honoured her memory but also celebrated the legacy of a family whose vision continues to inspire and shape the life of the School today. The performances, filled with artistry and emotion, brought the community together in a spirit of reflection, gratitude, and celebration.

The concert was preceded by the eulogy, read by Zamira’s son, Lin, at Zamira’s funeral in August 2024.
