Concert violinist to busk his way around the world on charity trip-Arts & Entertainment-Music-TimesOnline

Concert violinist to busk his way around the world on charity trip-Arts & Entertainment-Music-TimesOnline: "The 49-year-old violinist is to leave behind the comfort of classical recital rooms in favour of a 60,000-mile (97,000km) busking trip covering 25 countries.

Juritz, who is regarded as one of the world’s finest violinists, is making the trip to raise £500,000 for charities that bring music to poor children.

He will begin his journey tomorrow at Turnham Green Tube station, West London, with nothing but an empty wallet, a rucksack and his 18th-century violin."
