Be sure to save the dates for the following YAC events. More details will be coming soon!
Join YAC as we collaborate with Tunisia88 in New York.
Tunisia88 is a program that supports 590 student-led extracurricular music clubs. These clubs undergo an annual cycle of activities, including leadership training for social cohesion and creativity training to enable them to compose their own songs, with their own words, melodies, messages, and videos. A small group will be visiting New York and New Haven in late October and Early November.
In an effort to get to know the group and learn a bit more about them, we will be hosting a zoom call with them Wednesday, October 8th at 5:00pm ET. All are welcome to join the zoom call, event if you can't make it to the event. Zoom details will be sent out on the day of the call.

Under the direction of the esteemed Jeff Douma, this unique opportunity for three days of singing includes a concert under Jeff’s direction Sunday afternoon. Anyone who sang at Yale, along with singing spouses and significant others, are invited to join us. We will rehearse Friday evening and Saturday morning and afternoon, and a continental breakfast will be provided Saturday morning, along with lunch Saturday and Sunday.
