Brovtsyn has just joined the school as professor of violin while Vernikov will be a visiting professor, coming to the school on a regular basis throughout the academic year.

‘I’m thrilled to start a new chapter of my life,’ said Brovtsyn in a statement. ‘So many of my friends and colleagues have long associations with YMS, so it’s a pleasure to play a role in nurturing the next generation of young musicians. It feels like a homecoming, and I’m delighted to be at the school.’

‘I spent some wonderful days at the famous Menuhin School,’ said Vernikov. ‘It’s a fantastic school with very talented and sympathetic pupils. It was a great pleasure to work with them. I am looking forward to continuing our collaboration as visiting professor.’

Brovtsyn held a professorship at London’s Guildhall School of Music & Drama from 2010 to 2016 and has given masterclasses around the world, including South Korea, Thailand and Brazil. He currently holds a professorship at the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität in Vienna, Austria.
