Ten years\, after Hear Your Song got its start as a student organization\, join us to celebrate the more than 500 youth songwriters who have brought their songs to life through this community. Join founding alumni\, the current Yale undergraduate chapter\, members of the Yale Glee Club\, and some of the youth songwriters themselves for an afternoon of music\, conversation\, and food! \n\n\n\nHOW DID HEAR YOUR SONG BEGIN? \n\n\n\nOne night in May 2014\, a group of friends at Yale University crowded into a tiny studio to record a few songs: “The Cow Dances With Her Arms\,” “A Warm Place\,” and “Simba And I Are Not Friends (Just Kidding!).” These songs\, with lyrics by Maria\, Melissa\, and Justice\, pediatric residents at Elizabeth Seton Children’s in Yonkers\, NY\, marked the beginning of Hear Your Song’s adventures. \n\n\n\nDan Rubins and Rebecca Brudner co-founded Hear Your Song as a student organization when they were sophomores at Yale University. Hear Your Song’s first partnerships were with Elizabeth Seton Children’s in Yonkers\, NY and Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital. \n\n\n\nIn March 2020\, in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic\, Dan and Rebecca recognized that sick and immunocompromised kids needed a platform to share their stories and make their voices heard more than ever. That spring and summer\, Hear Your Song began its national expansion\, launching a virtual program model and building new campus-based chapters and partnerships. \n\n\n\nHear Your Song has now recorded well over 500 songs written by youth songwriters ages 6-18 across the country and around the world. In their songs\, youth songwriters write about anything they want to share\, from loving pasta to living with epilepsy.
