The international jury meeting for session 2017 took place in Pécs between 16-18 of March where the representatives of the three patron organizations (IFCM, ECA-EC and JMI) together with the conductors of the session selected the best singers from nearly 200 candidates.
After the hours-long challenges of listening to the numerous recordings and evaluating the applicants finally the international jury chose 55 singers from 33 countries to be part of the World Youth Choir for the summer session, centered in Pécs with a concert tour in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary.
