Bio

Gloria Yin is a conductor, pianist, and singer from London, UK, now based in the USA. Recent conducting highlights have included a multi-media performance of Missy Mazzoli's opera Song from the Uproar in collaboration with the David Geffen School of Drama, Yale Schwarzman Center, and Yale Opera, which they co-directed with projection designer Camilla Tassi, and Sarah Kirkland Snider's Mass for the Endangered. As a champion of new music, they have conducted numerous premieres, including Calvin Van Zytfeld's chamber opera Don't Trifle with Love, Daniel Knaggs' motet O vos omnes, and Shruthi Rajasekar's horn dectet Goddess.

They received a Licentiate Diploma with Distinction in Piano from Trinity College London in 2013, and have since been active as a collaborative pianist, arranger, and occasional organist. As a vocalist, they have sung with groups such as the Yale Schola Cantorum and Apollo's Singers on stages such as Royal Albert Hall and Alice Tully Hall.

They are a co-founder of New Muses Project, an organization aimed at radically reconstructing classical music through a justice lens, producing a high-quality album series of under-recorded music and building an educational web resource showcasing underrepresented composers.

Gloria holds a Master of Music degree in Choral Conducting at Yale School of Music, where they received the Richard Paul DeLong Prize. Before that, they received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from Princeton University, as well as Certificates in Piano Performance and Computer Science, and the Isidore & Helen Sacks Memorial Prize for extraordinary achievement in the arts.

Featured Project

Gloria is a co-founder of New Muses Project, a DEI-based classical music organization trying to shift the existing narrative through an innovative new web platform and a world-class concert and recording series. Our flagship endeavor is to launch an interactive website that offers curated performance and research suggestions based on the user’s interests. When the user inputs a composer, the website presents a different composer outside of the established canon to explore, using parameters such as style, genre, and era, rather than identity markers.

To celebrate the launch of this web resource and the release of the first album in our series, we are excited to announce “New Muses In Concert,” an event that took place on August 28, 2022 at 3pm at the Kaufman Center in NYC. https://www.kaufmanmusiccenter.org/mch/event/new-muses-in-concert/
