Korean ‘autism orchestra’ brings special performance to Yale Child Study Center

Yale’s Office of International Affairs (OIA) co-hosted a special performance by the Korean Onnuri Sarang Chamber Orchestra at the Yale Child Study Center (YCSC) on April 12, 2024.

Organized in collaboration with YCSC staff, the event featured a performance conducted by Yale alumna Angela Inkyung Sohn. The orchestra, comprising musicians with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, played a variety of classical, spiritual, and popular pieces, engaging and inspiring the audience. The orchestra’s visit, part of their New York and New Jersey tour during Autism Acceptance Month, highlights OIA’s role in facilitating international cultural exchange and promoting inclusivity through collaborative events.
