Undergraduate Program
Yale College Composition Seminar
The Yale College Composition Seminar provides experience in original and creative musical composition, either acoustic or technological, or in combination. All members of the seminar convene throughout the year both together as a larger group with the graduate composers and faculty of the School of Music, and separately as the Yale College Composition Seminar. Guest composers have included professional composers of a wide variety of aesthetic views, style and stature, as well as faculty composers of the Department of Music and the School of Music.
The Yale College Composition
Seminar meets weekly on Thursday afternoons in WLH 207. It is co-directed by Professors Kathryn Alexander and Michael Klingbeil. Yale College composers have their works performed under the auspices of Yale College New Music, also co-directed by Professors Alexander and Klingbeil, at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscripts Library. And, many of the Yale College performance ensembles premiere compositions by Yale College composers as well. Visit Our Showcase: Audio and Video to hear the works of our Yale College composers.
