By Mu Qian | China Daily | Updated: 2011-04-26 07:55

One of the world's most prestigious competitions for young violinists, the Menuhin Competition, will be held in Beijing from April 6 to 15, 2012.

It will be the first time the competition, named after the late violinist Yehudi Menuhin, takes place outside Europe. The Central Conservatory of Music, from which Menuhin was the first Western musician to receive an honorary professorship in 1979, will be the host.

"Hosting the Menuhin Young Violinists International Competition in Beijing commemorates Menuhin and also conveys our great respect and sincere gratitude to him," says Wang Cizhao, president of Central Conservatory of Music.
