By Martin Robinson PUBLISHED: 03:52 EST, 14 January 2014 | UPDATED: 05:34 EST, 14 January 2014 A virtuoso violinist driven to suicide during the trial of a choirmaster who abused her has inspired a friend to sail the Atlantic and raise money to help a rape support charity. Frances Andrade, 48, died from an overdose taken before she knew Michael Brewer and his ex-wife Kay, both 68, were convicted of six counts of indecent assault last February. Graham Wyllie's daughter Emily, 15, was taught by the talented musician at a school in Bramley, Surrey, up until her death, and he has sailed from the Canary Islands to Saint Lucia in her memory.
