YSM appoints new faculty
Five new faculty members joined the Yale School of Music in the 2026–27 academic year: Min Young Kang (lecturer in collaborative piano), Jonathan King (lecturer in opera), Dona D. Vaughn (lecturer in opera), Mohamed Shams (coordinator, collaborative piano), and Boris Slutsky (professor in the practice of piano). “I’m thrilled to welcome such distinguished faculty to our community in the coming academic year,” said José García-León, the Henry and Lucy Moses Dean of the Yale School of Music. “This wonderful group of musicians, mentors, and teachers will enrich the life of the school in countless ways, and their artistry, wisdom, and dedication will make a lasting contribution to our students.”
Renowned conductor guest conducts Philharmonia
Acclaimed conductor, arts advocate, and music and artistic director of the New York Philharmonic Gustavo Dudamel will lead the Yale Philharmonia in a wide-ranging program on November 19. The concert marks the culmination of a weeklong artistic residency and will feature a special presentation by Yale president Maurie McInnis, who will honor Dudamel with the Henry E. Howland Memorial Prize—one of the university’s highest honors. The Howland Prize recognizes individuals whose achievements in the arts, letters, or public affairs exemplify the highest ideals of public service and human endeavor.
