SÁNDOR VÉGH… the virtuoso violinist and the founding of the International Musicians Seminar
Hilary Tunstall-Behrens’ new book on the wonderful Hungarian violinist and founder of the IMS is out now. It is a fascinating insight into a great musician and the beginning of this very special organisation. In this book, Hilary tells the story of Végh’s musical upbringing and influences – his studies with Bartók and friendship with Casals. The book explains the development of IMS and of Végh’s role as the initiator of a generation of musicians. Copies, £15, are available through the IMS office, details below.

 " Some of my most satisfying musical experiences have been at IMS. The combination of the glorious setting, the close personal friendships that one forms there while living in close proximity, and the sense of pure musical idealism that has been the chief aim of the seminar since it began, produces a sort of magic that is unique. IMS is an important part of my life and, I believe, an important part of the lives of most people who attend the seminars."
