What we do

YUPC is a community of pianists at Yale College who convene regularly to perform for and with each other. Started in 2017 by Rishi Mirchandani, we set to bring together the wide variety of piano talent present in yale college's class through performances, studio classes, sight-reading sessions, and, excitingly, our 2024-2025 Masterclass series! While doing all of this, we still have fun and create lasting memories!
