A Short History of the Yale Russian Chorus

Mark Alan Hewitt

The Yale Russian Chorus (YRC) is a unique phenomenon-part singing group, part fraternity, part discussion group-that started in 1953 at Yale at the height of the Cold War, a time when exhibiting a strong interest in matters Russian and Soviet could be seen as suspect in the USA. It developed into a respectable tenor-bass chorus, which has participated in and won prizes at major international choral festivals. In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Chorus's founding, Mark Alan Hewitt prepared this short history. It recounts memorable moments and events, including concerts and tours of the Russia and Eastern Europe. It documents the role that the YRC has played as "Diplomats of Song," promoting mutual understanding between Russia and the West.
