Yale to Receive $100 Million Gift for Music School
The Yale School of Music has announced a gift of $100 million that will allow the school to subsidize tuition fully for all students beginning in the 2006-07 academic year.
The gift from an unspecified number of anonymous donors — the largest ever made to the music school — will enable it to acquire the technology to broadcast events, clinics, and special lectures, and to participate in live, interactive clinics and workshops with colleagues from conservatories and institutions around the world, including those it has relationships with in Beijing, Germany, Moscow, Seoul, and Shanghai. The school also hopes to forge new international partnerships and continue its exchanges of faculty, students, and ensembles while accelerating the pace and expanding the depth of those relationships.
In addition, the school will use the funds to augment its presence and activities in its hometown of New Haven. Additional benefits, including development of new programs and
changes in financial aid for music students, likely will emerge over the next few years.
"This generous gift will enhance the ability of the school to attract the world's finest musicians and will support a number of important advances at the school," said Yale president Richard C. Levin. "Everyone who is part of Yale's standing as a great center for the arts will be inspired to reach new heights."
