Menuhin Competition Artistic Director Gordon Back has today told The Violin Channel.

"I look forward to welcoming all the competitors, jurors, artists-in-residence and the audience to the Menuhin Competition next May ... despite the world-wide coronavirus crisis causing us to postpone this year's event, we are working hard with our partners, who really have made Herculean efforts to reschedule and ensure the Menuhin Competition Richmond 2021 is the most successful Competition ever ..." he has said.

"I am positive that it will be a brilliant success and as Menuhin himself said, 'Our young gifted violinists will be the ambassadors of goodwill.'"
