Kaleidoscope Vocal Academy in Concert | Saturday, August 1, 2026 | New Haven, CT

Join us for the culminating performance of the second annual Kaleidoscope Vocal Academy, presented by the Yale Glee Club and Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble.

The Kaleidoscope Vocal Academy features twenty-four of the country's most promising young singers, ages 16–18, who have spent a week at Yale University immersed in masterclasses, private coachings, chamber music, and ensemble singing under the guidance of Dr. Jeffrey Douma (Director, Yale Glee Club), Dr. Felicia Barber (Director, Yale Camerata), and Dr. Arianne Abela (Artistic Director, Kaleidoscope). Now they take the stage side by side with the professional artists of Kaleidoscope for an afternoon celebrating the next generation of choral voices.
