Carol Yeh joined Sibylla in January of 2004 as a guest performer for the Catholic University production of The Libation Bearers, a modern opera by Andrew Simpson and Sarah Ferrario. Somewhere in the middle of rehearsals and learning about how badly Ancient Greeks needed family counseling, she became an official member of Sibylla...not that family counseling has anything to do with Sibylla.
Carol began studying piano at the tender age of 5, when her parents duped her into thinking it would be fun. They neglected to tell her about the hours at the piano bench and the discipline required to actually play anything beyond a middle C. But being the good Taiwanese daughter, she persevered and did pretty well for herself -- she appeared as the guest soloist with the Allentown Symphony Orchestra in 1987, playing the 1st movement from Ravel's Piano Concerto in G as the winner of the Young Artist's Competition. She went on to fail her 11th grade world history test the next day.
Off the piano bench, Carol sang...a lot. In fact, she chose her college based on the quality of the choral groups it offered, which is how she has found her way into Yale's co-ed a capella group, Out of the Blue; its senior women's group, Whim 'n Rhythm (for which she was the music director); and the Yale Glee Club (for which she was the accompanist). After college, she sang briefly with the Baltimore Choral Arts Society and the Washington Master Chorale.
Around 1996, she took time off from singing to figure out what she wanted to do with her life and to fall in love. Having achieved one of her life dreams --- to become fluent in American Sign Language --- you can now find Carol happily married and working at the "mecca" of the deaf community, Gallaudet University. So now that she's figured out what she wants to do and has fallen in love, it's time for her to get back to singing.
