Student ensembles perform
In late November, the Yale School of Music began an intensive, six-week performance block in which the student orchestra, the Yale Philharmonia, rehearsed and performed as a string ensemble alongside smaller chamber groups. The performance block, which was preceded and followed by academic blocks that were mostly conducted online, happened with strict health-and-safety protocols in place. Performances by the Yale Philharmonia and three New Music New Haven concerts, which featured music by YSM’s composition students, were recorded to be streamed on a later date, along with performances by students from the Yale Opera program and various chamber music ensembles.
