In the latter half of the twentieth century, the School of Music extended its influence and invitation to the finest musicians worldwide, seeking students of extraordinary artistic and intellectual talent to pursue their advanced musical studies with its illustrious faculty. These students and faculty contribute to and benefit from the international distinction of Yale University, which not only cherishes its academic heritage but also places great value on all of the fine arts. Yale is renowned for its array of libraries, art galleries, historical collections, and theatrical presentations, and for its rich concert life. The ten other professional schools at the University and Yale College itself contribute to the vibrant social and educational environment. The city of New Haven and its surrounding towns o≠er an abundance of cultural and recreational opportunities through their historical villages, diverse neighbor- hoods, charming shops, fine restaurants, beaches, and orchards. While Yale has virtually inexhaustible cultural resources, its close proximity to New York and Boston broadens the possibilities for an enhanced student experience. The School of Music Bulletin is far more than a collection of policies, degree pro- grams, and faculty biographies. It reflects a community that is fully committed to the highest musical ideals. It is a blueprint for those who will assume the mantle of cultural leadership. It is a reflection of a School steeped in tradition yet shaping the future. It is a brief sampling of what you might expect from your time in this place. Whether you intend to perform, coach, teach, research, direct, compose, publish, cri- tique, edit, manage, or lead, consider the opportunities for a challenging and significant immersion in everything that Yale University has to o≠er. The faculty and sta≠ of the Yale School of Music wish you much success in your time here and in your musical pursuits.
