Harp at YSM
The harp program at the Yale School of Music offers training in both solo and ensemble playing, as well as teaching and other opportunities beyond the concert hall. In private lessons and weekly studio seminars, students are encouraged to explore as broad a repertoire as possible. Harp students participate in chamber music, an integral part of the YSM experience, and often play in various ensembles and configurations in the New Music New Haven series. Harp students also perform with the School’s orchestra, the Yale Philharmonia, which offers important orchestral experience with a wide variety of repertoire and the opportunity to work with acclaimed guest conductors.
