The Yale International Singers choral ensemble has performed music from the farthest reaches of the globe, in languages as diverse as the nationalities of its members. Each program weaves a tapestry drawn from classical music, renaissance music, traditional folk songs, and popular songs, sung either a capella or with instrumentation ranging from strings to organ to ethnic percussion. In the intricate interweavings of melody, harmony and language we find not only joy and beauty, but friendship.

Founded in 1996, the Yale International Singers have been led since 1999 by conductor Sebastián Zubieta, an Argentinian native. With one rehearsal per week, the YIS caters to the committed schedules of graduate and professional students and young professionals from the Yale community. Our members hail from many different countries, and join together in the celebration of worldwide song.
