The Yehudi Menuhin School (YMS) has appointed a new Director of Music.
Violist Rosalind Ventris will succeed Ashley Wass in September 2025, becoming the School’s first female Director of Music.
An international soloist and chamber musician, Ventris is also currently Director of Performance at Oxford University, Professor of Viola at the Guildhall, and Artistic Director of the Cowbridge Music Festival. Her recent album, SOLA, was nominated for a BBC Music Magazine Award.
Robin Harskin, Head of YMS, said: ‘We are thrilled that Rosalind will be joining us as Director of Music. Rosalind is a proven performer and pedagogue of the highest order, but, even more importantly, she is a deeply empathetic person who wholeheartedly supports Menuhin’s ideals for the school and for the role of music in shaping a better world.’
