Program in Voice


Early Music, Oratorio, and Chamber Ensemble

Mission

Students majoring in vocal performance at Yale are enrolled in one of two separate and distinct tracks: the Opera track (sponsored entirely by the School of Music, with Doris Yarick-Cross as program advisor), and the track in Early Music, Oratorio and Chamber Ensemble, sponsored jointly by the Institute of Sacred Music and School of Music, with James Taylor as program advisor). Both tracks are designed to enhance and nurture the artistry of young singers by developing in them a secure technique, consummate musicianship, stylistic versatility, performance skills and comprehensive performance experience. In both tracks there is a strong emphasis on oratorio and the art song repertoire and each student is expected to sing a recital each year.

The Yale community and the New Haven area offer ample opportunities for solo experience with various Yale choral and orchestral ensembles, as well as through church positions and professional orchestras. Close proximity to New York and Boston make attendance at performances and auditions in those cities convenient. Additionally, students have the opportunity to teach voice to undergraduates in Yale College and to nonmajors in the Yale School of Music.

Information about the Opera track can be found in the bulletin of the Yale School of Music, or by contacting the Yale School of Music.

For more information on the Early Music, Oratorio, and Chamber Ensemble track contact the Institute's Admissions Office.
