Building Bridges between Young Singers from Diverse Cultures
Since its creation in 1989, the World Youth Choir (WYC) has established itself as one of the most interesting musical and intercultural experiences offered to young musicians. About 100 young choral singers from all over the world, aged between 17 and 26, constitute one of today’s most original and important choirs. Year after year the number of participating countries increases. Today, more than 40 different nationalities are present in the choir, assuring that all continents are represented.
Each year between July and August, the WYC comes together in a different country of the world for two weeks of rehearsals. Following these rehearsals, the choir tours within the host country and neighboring countries presenting concerts in major cultural centers and prestigious concert halls.
Singers must audition with local partners in their home countries or regions. Mukarati Music, being the official local partner of the WYC brings this opportunity to Zimbabwean singers!
