Although known as early as the 7th century, there is little visual evidence for Buddhist practice in Tibet until the 11th when paintings and sculptures illustrate an astonishing array of enlightened beings such as buddhas and bodhisattvas, guardians and guides. After introducing the primary types of deities featured in Tibetan practices, Denise Patry Leidy, the Ruth and Bruce Dayton Curator of Asian Art, highlights a newly acquired, and spectacular, 16th-century Tibetan mandala focused on the protective deity Sitatapatra (White Parasol), a guardian against malign supernatural forces.

The Yale Undergraduate Chamber Orchestra actively commissions, workshops, and performs original works of undergraduate composers. In addition, we fill our season with projects that foster collaboration within the Yale arts scene at large. Among these is an annual concert of student-composed chamber music, creating a unique opportunity for undergraduate composers and performers to collaborate with one another. This year, in partnership with the Yale University Art Gallery, we have commissioned student composers to write pieces in response to works of art on view.
