Charting Pathways 2020: Taking Flight

In celebration of the class of 2020, our annual Charting Pathways series captured the musical journeys and aspirations of some members of our graduates in a series of stories.

To our graduating students, we are proud to have witnessed your growth over the years, and delighted to have shared this journey with you!

Forging Paths of Their Own

We celebrate our first graduating cohort of
Music & Society (MS) and Music, Collaboration & Production (MCP) students, as well as the journeys of our Joint Degree Programme and Artist Diploma graduates.

From Concert to Community

Music heals, connects and empowers across spaces and demographics. We hear from students who have used the skills and experiences they gained at YST to build, impact and lead communities.

A Bold Resonance

We take a look at Wind and Brass students’ journeys across genres, countries and classes, working closely with teachers, visiting artists and peers alike.

Within, Across and Beyond

Our students develop rich artistic identities not only through their Major and studies within YST, but also across fields of activity and beyond the Conservatory. Here’s a look at what went on for this issue’s graduates, from music supervision, licensing and production to early music, pop music, collaborative piano and dance.

Keenly Attuned

In our final issue of Charting Pathways, we hear from some String students as they reflect on their time at YST – working closely with teachers, exploring music across different styles and contexts, going across countries, and ultimately moving towards bright futures of their own.
