'György was a close colleague as one of our most eminent violin professors over nearly 40 years. He was also awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the Academy in 2016. He will be sorely missed by all of us, including the many students who worked with him during this time, so many of whom have gone on to major careers all over the world.
We will have a chance to reflect properly on György’s impact on the Academy, and the musical world at large, in due course.'
Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, Academy Principal.
