Co-Chairmen’s Message
For 40 years the European Union Youth Orchestra has represented
and embodied the highest ideals of European cultural unity and
cooperation. As Europe has grown and expanded its membership,
so has the Orchestra. In its ranks, at its desks, young musicians from
28 nations between the ages of 16 and 26 work, play, learn, make
music, make friendships, gain understanding, grow as musicians and
as people. Which nation they come from only partly relevant, for
they are united by a sense of a shared cultural heritage, a common
cultural vision. Each season they start as 120 individuals; by the end

several thousand musicians have colonised Europe’s music making.
Many people the ranks of the greatest orchestras of the continent.
Others teach, innovate, explore, inspire. They never forget what they
learned with their fellow colleagues from the EU’s 28 countries.
All of this nearly came to an end earlier this year when we announced
that in the absence of continued core funding from the EU we
would have to cease operations. The resulting outburst of support
for the EUYO internationally was astounding and the EU has now
undertaken to sustain the orchestra both in the short and the long
term. We hope that in practice this will enable the continuation of
the Orchestra. The scale of respect, affection and trust shown to

Making TOURS Happen
Welcome Message
Monday 8 March and Thursday 22 April 1976 were seemingly unremarkable
days. Yet when the cultural history of the EU comes to be written they
could enter the history books, for these were, respectively, the dates
when the European Parliament passed a unanimous resolution to found
the European Community (now Union) Youth Orchestra and when the
European Commission confirmed its official Patronage of the Orchestra.
The scale of achievement of the EUYO in the ensuing years is articulated in
the following pages by tributes from a number of the world’s great artists,
politicians and – surely most profoundly – the players themselves. By any
measure, the EUYO has combined performance excellence with a unique
cultural ambassadorship for the EU, acting as an emblem for the European spirit
of freedom, co-operation and creativity, in Europe and around the globe.
To celebrate this tradition, the Orchestra is launching ‘Capital Sounds’, an
ambitious project to visit all the EU Capital Cities in the coming years with
performances that reflect not only the pan-European nature of the Orchestra,
but also focus on the cultural identities of each country. The Project launches
in Bratislava on 7 August in celebration of Slovakia’s EU Presidency, and
continues this summer to Amsterdam, Berlin, Ljubljana and Warsaw.
Amidst celebration however, it is impossible not to mention the crisis in EU
funding for the EUYO earlier this year that nearly caused its closure, a reminder
that even the most impressive achievements are eternally at risk if they are not
properly safeguarded. We hope very much that a solution to the Orchestra’s
funding from the EU can be found, for as I write discussions are ongoing but
not yet resolved. Should they be resolved, then a question is worth posing:
as the world changes, increasingly complex, progressively more connected,
how can the EUYO best be of service, developing its role as a tangible beacon
of the EU’s finest ideals during such an undeniably testing time for Europe?
For now, though, we welcome you to our summer 2016 anniversary tour.

there is no way one can be involved in
the orchestra without developing a deep
love not only for the music and culture
of Europe but for its people as well”.

The Orchestra's reputation for artistic excellence derives
in major part from the work of its Music Directors and

Director Claudio Abbado established a benchmark in not
only performance excellence but also orchestral spirit which
endures to the present. Between the 1990s and 2015 this
tradition was continued by Music Directors Bernard Haitink
and Vladimir Ashkenazy with extraordinary musicianship,
skill and generosity. Today, Vasily Petrenko as Chief

Awards
Each season the European Union Youth Orchestra gives three or more players one of its
Awards, which reward a variety of skills ranging from musicianship to the creation of an
atmosphere of harmony and understanding.
If you would like to sponsor an Award, create an Award in memory of someone who
shared the Orchestra’s values, or know of a Corporation that would be honoured to put
their organisation’s name to an Award, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our
Development and Communications Manager, Charlotte Hamilton at charlotte@euyo.eu
or by telephone: 0044 79668 88917
The Ian Stoutzker Award
Generously offered by the Orchestra’s Co-Chairman and Orchestra Board Chairman Ian Stoutzker, CBE, this will provide one
or more musicians with an award for performance excellence and embodying the EUYO spirit of cultural understanding,
cooperation and harmony.
As a young man Mr. Stoutzker trained at the Royal College of Music under Albert Sammons, before eventually choosing a new
path at the London School of Economics. It has been said of him, ‘Perhaps no musician has ever done so much for music after
choosing a new career.’ The Orchestra is delighted to benefit from his remarkable commitment and generous guidance.
The award for the 2015–2016 season was given to our Austrian cellist, Klara Wincor and our Portuguese horn player,
Flávio Barbosa.

Recipient of The
Aleksandar Pavlović Award
“One of the most unique things I discovered through playing
with the EUYO is that there are so many ways to play well.
Even though we are from different countries and are taught
differently, we can all learn from each other. It gives you the
opportunity to be the musician that you want to be. No one
expects you to play a certain way, they expect to hear YOU
play, and I find the orchestra very unique in that way. This
enables us all to grow as musicians within the Orchestra.
I feel extremely lucky and very grateful to be chosen to receive
this award. Many people who have been awarded this prize
before, are people that I admire personally and professionally.
It motivates me to continue to pour all my energy and soul
into my work on the bassoon. I'll use the money that I've
received for a complete overhaul of my instrument.”
Victor Koch Jensen
Danish, Trumpet
Recipient of The Lionel Bryer
Memorial Fund Award
“Receiving the Lionel Bryer Memorial Fund Award marks
an absolute highlight of my time with the EUYO.
To be awarded this special prize is a tremendously
generous financial boost, that gives me the possibility
to go for lessons as well as auditions abroad.
Looking back on my time with the Orchestra, I can't believe
how many extraordinary friends I have met, how many epic
and tear-provoking concerts we've played, and how strong
the bonds we have tied in doing so. The EUYO creates a
vital stepping stone for young musicians like myself, and I
simply cannot imagine where I would have been without
it, not just as a musician, but also as a human being.
Mr. & Mrs. Bryer started something truly unique
when they founded this orchestra, and I'm extremely
grateful that I got to be a part of it.”
