Yale Schola Cantorum

Biography

Though founded only in 2003, the Yale Schola Cantorum harks back to the small university student choirs that, in the early and middle 20th century, did much to introduce the choral music of earlier eras to the American public. Under the auspices of the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, the Schola Cantorum has performed in concerts and church services internationally. The choir's repertory focuses on historically informed performances of music of the Renaissance and Baroque, and it has collaborated with historical instrument groups from the Yale and Juilliard Schools of Music. However, it has also performed later music up to that of the present day, and its recordings include Judith Weir: In the Land of Uz; Amy Beach: The Canticle of the Sun (2025).
