Sadness: EU youth orchestra founder dies at 88
mainWe have been notified of the death on Armistice Day of Joy Bryer, who with her husband Lionel founded the European Union Youth Orchestra and the European Community Youth Orchestra.
She is survived by three daughters – Lisa Villiers, Lesley King-Lewis and Tania Bryer – and six
grandchildren. Her family would love to hear memories from past members of the orchestra.
To this address.
This is that orchestra performing Ravel’s Bolero at the Nov. 11th Paris Commemoration of the End of WW I in front of more than 60 world leaders:
