YSM hosts all-classes reunion

More than 150 alumni, spanning nearly 60 classes, returned to New Haven for the School of Music’s all-classes reunion. The gathering—which took place from Friday, October 10, to Sunday, October 12—had one of the largest attendances of any YSM alumni event to date.

Yale music community comes together for new work

In November, the East Coast premiere of Siddhartha, She—a new work by composition faculty member Christopher Theofanidis ’97DMA with libretto by Melissa Studdard—brought together Yale musicians from across generations, disciplines, and ensembles. The Yale Philharmonia, School of Music faculty artists, Yale Choral Artists, Yale Glee Club, and singers from Yale Opera and Yale Voxtet all performed under the direction of conductor Jeffrey Douma.
