“I feel passionately that great music offers solace, spirituality, and solidarity, especially while more material matters are now occupying our lives today.
This is a new global age, which brings us new opportunities to celebrate the European Union’s policy of building closer ties and cementing relations beyond trade and commerce using music as the powerful unifying force.
We should reflect on the great importance of culture, international understanding, and cross-border cooperation, which I believe are essential to create a peaceful and healthy world.”
Joy Bryer (1930 - 2018), EUYO Founding President | Europe Day, 2010
