In Memory of Zamira Menuhin-Benthall

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Zamira Menuhin-Benthall, beloved daughter of the late legendary violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Zamira passed away peacefully at her home on July 31.

Zamira Menuhin-Benthall embodied the remarkable qualities of her father, Yehudi Menuhin, and was a dedicated advocate for education in both China and the UK. Her profound connection with China and unwavering support were instrumental in bringing the Yehudi Menuhin School to China. She played a pivotal role in the establishment and growth of The Yehudi Menuhin School Qingdao, consistently demonstrating immense care and dedication. Her passing is a significant loss to us all, but her legacy will continue to inspire and guide us.

In this time of mourning, we extend our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to Zamira’s family and friends. We honor her memory and will always cherish her contributions and spirit.
