The New Haven Symphony Orchestra (NHSO) and the Yale University Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library are pleased to collaborate on the William Walton Project. The Frederick R. Koch Collection, housed at the Beinecke Library, contains the world’s largest archive of Walton’s original manuscripts. This project presents a unique opportunity for Walton’s music to be “brought to life” using these manuscripts as the source of preparation for performances.
