International flautist Wissam Boustany founded the Pro Youth Philharmonia training orchestra on the principle of music having the ability to transform lives. His aim was to create a non-competitive environment for advanced music students and emerging professionals to explore and develop their individual talents, with an emphasis on nurture and encouragement.

Teaming up with composer Bushra El-Turk and cellist and improvisor Matthew Barley, and with a new commission by Trinity Laban composition student Amelia Clarkson, a three-date tour in January 2019 will explore the healing power of love, and the themes of “hope” in an uncertain world in London, Canterbury and Birmingham.

WildKat PR will be managing the press and PR for PYP’s 2019 tour.
