In 1985, Marguerite L. Brooks and the Institute of Sacred Music invited New Haven community members to join Yale affiliates in a fledgling chorus, the Yale Camerata. The walls separating campus from city, thus breached by music, remain open to this day. After nearly forty years the Camerata is performing under its second permanent conductor, Felicia Barber, and it is flourishing.
