Grand-niece of Joseph Joachim, and sister of the violinist Adila Fachiri. She and Béla Bartók gave sonata recitals together in London and Paris and though his sonatas were dedicated to her sister, Jelly and Bartók presented them in London in March 1922 (No. 1) and May 1923 (No. 2). She is the dedicatee of Ravel's "Tzigane" and of the Vaughan Williams "Concerto Academico" and on the basis of messages she received at a 1933 séance, allegedly from Robert Schumann, she played a curious role in the emergence and 1937 world premiere of Robert Schumann's Violin Concerto, performing the London premiere of the work.
