Vladimir Opacic World Youth Choir Manager
Session 2012, will be held between August 3rd and September 1st (dates to be confirmed). Two repertoires, two conductors, one Symphony orchestra! Concerts in Cyprus, Greece, Turkey and surrounding countries thanks to the collaboration between the Foundation World Youth Choir and the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra Foundation /Cyprus Youth Symphony orchestra with the support of the Cyprus presidency of the European Union 2012 (Ministry of education and culture – cultural events in 2012) and the three patron organizations of the World Youth Choir.
