Welcome
Joy Bryer
Co-founder & President of the
European Union Youth Orchestra
“Ever since my husband and I founded the European Union
Youth Orchestra in 1976 we had a dream of convincing the
citizens and governments of the then European Community
that culture, education, and international understanding
are essential parts of our lives. After almost 40 years of
an extraordinary journey both within and outside of the
European Union, we have indeed accomplished our aims.
I am absolutely thrilled and extremely excited that the
EUYO has now taken on, with courage and determination,
a strategy for growth and development in all aspects
of its activities under the dedicated leadership of our
new Co-Chairmen. It is with great pleasure and joy that I
look forward to working with them, taking us into a new
world for Europe’s future leaders in classical music.”
Sir John Tusa
Co-Chairman of the
European Union Youth Orchestra
“I am delighted to become involved with the EUYO at this
momentous turning point in its artistic and strategic
future. New people bring new ideas, and a revitalised
approach to leadership. I have dedicated much of my life to
the Arts and I look forward to aiding the development of
what has already proved itself to be a strong, committed
and ambitious leadership team. This is a journey I am
happy to go on; Joy Bryer has given her new Chairmen
a wonderful orchestra and solid foundations upon
which to build a sustainable and remarkable future –
with Europe’s finest young players at itsheart.”
Ian Stoutzker CBE
Co-Chairman of the
European Union Youth Orchestra
“The EUYO, founded in 1976 through the inspiration and
commitment of Joy Bryer, has been an outstanding example
of European cultural cooperation for almost 40 years.
Building on this tradition, my aim is to help reinvigorate
the Orchestra and broaden the scope of its activities,
ensuring the highest levels of performance, and thus
enabling it to continue to act as a beacon and example
