Boston University Tanglewood Institute Young Artists Chorus Tickets

The Boston University Tanglewood Institute Young Artists Chorus (YAC) is a distinguished training ground for aspiring young choral musicians within the BU College of Fine Arts. Based at Seiji Ozawa Hall in the storied Tanglewood Campus, Lenox, MA, YAC offers a dynamic program that blends traditional choral literature with contemporary works. Under the steady baton of Katie Woolf, Conductor of the Young Artists Vocal Program, YAC continues to grow as a reliable hub for rigorous musician development and memorable performances.

YAC is part of BUTI, an initiative known for expanding access to high-caliber music education, supported by leadership from BU and the surrounding artistic community. The program draws on a network of faculty, guest artists, and professional collaborators to create compelling concerts that resonate with audiences across the region.

Whether you’re a parent, a first-time concertgoer, or a longtime supporter of choral excellence, securing your seats to a YAC performance means experiencing a thoughtful, well-rehearsed performance that reflects the best of American choral tradition and fresh contemporary voice.

Upcoming performances showcase the YAC’s evolving repertoire and the ongoing collaboration between BUTI and Seiji Ozawa Hall. A standout event on the calendar is the August 9, 2025 concert at Seiji Ozawa Hall, Lenox, MA, with a 1:30 PM start time.
