Ndodana-Breen also composed
Harmonia Ubuntu, based on the speeches of Nelson Mandela, for the historic tour of the Grammy-award winning Minnesota Orchestra to SA in 2018.
The university announced Ndodana-Breen’s appointment on Thursday.
“At Yale, Ndodana-Breen will create a major new work, ‘African Passion’, based largely on gospel texts, drawing from the many languages of Africa and the diaspora, and evoking a pan-African sonic perspective,” the institution said in a statement.
Ndodana-Breen said he was excited by the appointment.
“I am deeply honoured and equally excited to be part of this extraordinary community of scholars and artists,” said Ndodana-Breen.
“Yale is an amazing institution, everyone has been so welcoming and incredibly helpful. From my time as a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard, I know how competitive these fellowships are so I’m truly overjoyed as a SA composer that my project was selected.”
Interdisciplinary Fellows at Yale Institute of Sacred Music
2021–2022 fellows announced
The Yale Institute of Sacred Music (ISM) is pleased to introduce the fellows who will join our community for the 2021–2022 year. The
ISM Fellows in Sacred Music, Worship, and the Arts are scholars, religious leaders, or artists at all career stages whose work is in or is turning toward the fields of sacred music, liturgical/ritual studies, or religion and the arts. The Fellows have numerous opportunities to share their work with the community and to teach, as well as to work on their individual projects using Yale’s vast resources. Following in the footsteps of previous cohorts of ISM fellows, the 2021–2022 fellows represent a cross-section of cultures and disciplines. For the first time, ISM postdoctoral associates are eligible for a multiple-year fellowship, allowing them to develop and teach courses in areas that are underrepresented in the traditional curriculum.
