I wrote This Love Between Us through some of the darkest times in our country and in our world. But my mind always returns to the last line of this piece, the words of Rumi: “Concentrate on the Essence, Concentrate on the Light

Reena Esmail, Yale Graduate


Schola will tourwith early music ensemble Juilliard415, and Schola’s principal conductor David Hill will lead performances of J.S. Bach’s Magnificat in D, instrumental works by Rameau, Telemann, and Bach, and the premiere performances of a newly-commissioned work by the Indian American composer Reena Esmail, a graduate of both Yale and Juilliard. Esmail’s work embraces both the Western and Hindustani (North Indian) classical music idioms. In 2011-2012 she was a recipient of a Fulbright-Nehru grant, and moved to Delhi, where she was affiliated with the Faculty of Music and Fine Arts at Delhi University and studied Hindustani vocal music with Gaurav Mazumdar. Esmail was selected as a 2011 INK Fellow to speak about her work at the INK Conference (in association with TED) in Jaipur, and throughout India.
