Yehudi Menuhin, one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, created the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation (IYMF) in Brussels in 1991 as an international non-profit making association.

The aim of the IYMF is to establish projects whose purpose is to give a voice to the voiceless.

The centre of a network of 13 national structures based in Europe, Israel and Brazil, the Foundation acts as a catalyst and provides new ways of cross-cultural exchanges. These are realised through different programmes.
