The Yale Glee Club is pleased to announce the

2012 Yale International Choral Festival

The 2012 Yale International Choral Festival is a new venture that promises to carry the Yale Glee Club’s long tradition of international choral exchange into the twenty-first century. 

A collaboration between the Yale Glee Club, the Yale School of Music, the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, and the Yale Alumni Chorus, the festival will bring choirs from four continents - along with the Yale Alumni Chorus - to Yale’s campus for five days of singing, learning, and exploring the connections that choral music fosters between people.

The festival will be held June 19-23, 2012, and all activities will take place on Yale University’s campus.  Each evening will feature a formal concert in Yale University's renowned Sprague Hall by one of the visiting choirs, and each day will be filled with lectures, conducting masterclasses, and workshops.  The festival will culminate in a concert in Woolsey Hall featuring the Yale Alumni Chorus.

There will also be a two-day symposium - Choirs Transforming Our World - organized in association with the International Federation for Choral Music’s Conductors Without Borders network and the American Choral Directors Association's International Conductors Exchange Program.  

Please check here after Oct. 1 for announcements about our visiting choirs and about how you can participate in the festival as a Conducting Fellow or an auditor.
