The selection of singers was made amongst the 92 singers who expressed interest and availability in joining the American Choral Directors Association National Conference 2021 in Dallas, Texas (USA) (cancelled due to COVID) following a call sent to all singers who participated in a session between 2016 and 2019. The final selection features 43 singers coming from 32 countries who will represent the World Youth Choir in an international tour in Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary. 

​

The process was conducted based on each singer's audition material submitted for previous sessions, performance during the session they participated in (based on observations from the WYC manager, section leaders and conductor) and overall ability to be a representative of the programme. Furthermore, the jury also took into consideration the complementarity of the voices of the singers selected in order to create a cohesive group in each section and for the whole choir and, whenever possible, to amplify the diversity of countries represented in the World Youth Choir. 

​

The selection was made by the session manager, board members and the artistic advisors of the World Youth Choir Foundation.

The choice was often hard for the selection committee and the singers selected have now a heavy responsibility in representing the World Youth Choir. Many others could be also part of the choir and not being selected does not diminish their skills. We deeply thank the continuous interest and involvement of all our former singers and invite those still eligible to apply for future projects.
