A Premier Undergraduate Orchestra
Formed nearly a decade ago by a group of Yale students who sensed the need for an ensemble devoted to the performance of orchestra repertoire, The Yale Symphony Orchestra now enjoys a reputation as one of the premiere undergraduate orchestras in Connecticut, performing more than six concerts every year. The group has had tremendous achievements with the production of its annual Halloween show in full costume at its permanent place in Yale lore.
Having overcome numerous challenges and filled with constant experimentation, the orchestra not only as a music outlet for its players but also as an important venue of performance of new music. They have been honored to present national and world wide premieres of many works, among them the European premiere of Leonard Bernstein's Mass in 1973. Also their alumni have achieved rich music careers, and many have earned a worldwide reputation.
