Music

New Haven has the richest musical life of any city of its size in the country. The New Haven Symphony Orchestra, the fourth oldest symphony orchestra in America, and the Yale School of Music, one of the world's most prestigious schools of music, are at the center of a beehive of musical activity in the city. Rounding out the city's musical offerings are numerous other jazz, folk, classical and rock concerts at various venues including the legendary Toad's Place - "where the legends play."
