The World Youth Choir (WYC) international jury meeting for the WYC 2025 session took place in Brussels, Belgium, 26-27 January 2025. The jury’s task was to select the best singers for this particular session from 240 candidates. After many hours of listening to recordings from each singer and evaluating their applications, the jury chose 64 singers from 37 countries to be part of the World Youth Choir 2025 session. Seven additional countries are represented in the reserve list.
The World Youth Choir Foundation acknowledges all its partners, recruiters, alumni, and audition supervisors who helped audition over 240 singers for this year’s edition of the program. The recruitment process could not have been carried out without their invaluable help. For this, the World Youth Choir Foundation, its patrons (IFCM, ECA, JMI), its board, and its artistic committee would like to publicly thank each and every one.
We also thank the international jury and 2025 conductor for undertaking the challenging task of listening to all the audition files and engaging in a fair and balanced selection of talented singers which will become the 2025 World Youth Choir!
