MUS-E Artists
More than 600 artists are participating in the MUS-E programme. One of the tasks of the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation is to foster international collaboration among them and a beautiful example of this can be found with the "MUS-E Band", an multicultural group of musicians who worked in some residences organised by the Foundation under the musical guidance of Thierry Van Roy, first in Tapovan (Normandie) and then in the Belgian Ardennes. Musical Ambassador of the MUS-E Network, this group is now available to travel under the patronage of the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation.
