Palestine Youth Orchestra

In 2013 the Palestine Strings performed at the Proms to a sell-out audience and unanimous acclaim in the British press.

Now its sister ensemble the Palestine Youth Orchestra, brings a musical programme featuring Arabic songs from Egypt and Lebanon alongside contemporary British music, Beethoven and Mussorgsky's much loved musical interpretation of an art gallery.

Young musicians and soloists from Palestine and the Palestinian Diaspora are joined by students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and Guildhall School of Music conducted by British conductor Sian Edwards. Equally at home with Western and Arabic repertoire, the PYO maintains a unique position amongst youth orchestras internationally.
