MEET THE SINGERS
Session 2018
The international jury meeting for session 2018 took place in Tianjin, China, between 2-4 of March, when the representatives of the three patron organisations (IFCM, ECA-EC and JMI), together with the conductors of the session, selected the best singers from nearly 200 candidates. After many hours of listening to the numerous recordings and evaluating the applicants, the international jury finally chose 64 singers from 33 countries to be part of the World Youth Choir 2018 summer session in China:
