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. For those of you joining the YAC tour to Poland, there will be overlap with the music, so this will be a great learning opportunity!
More details coming soon! If you have any questions, please contact Clay at clayk@aya.yale.edu.
