Performances include an annual series of concerts in Woolsey Hall as well as Yale Opera productions in the Shubert Theater. The Yale Philharmonia has also performed on numerous occasions in Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, and the Kennedy Center. In its last appearance at Carnegie Hall, it earned rave reviews for its “sensational” (New York Times) performance of Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie under guest conductor Reinbert de Leeuw. The orchestra undertook its first tour of Asia in 2008, with acclaimed performances in Seoul, Beijing, and Shanghai.
