Congratulations to our friends at Opera Montana on the fantastic world premiere of A River Runs Through It recently in Bozeman! 👏👏👏

At YTI, we are grateful to support the arts in our community, including Opera Montana.

"An Instant Classic" 🐟

Opera Montana was in Opera Today this morning with A River Runs Through It.

"These skilled creators have fashioned a highly effective piece of lyric theatre that is at once sassily entertaining, endearingly heart-warming, and profoundly moving."

"a scintillating new American opera that has the legs to become part of the canon."

A huge thank you to James Sohre with Opera Today for this wonderful review of A River Runs Through It!

It's hard to believe we're already four weeks into the fall semester at YTI! Together, students and faculty are gaining knowledge and skills, building lasting friendships, and growing as followers of Christ. And of course, doing a lot of reading and starting to work on papers and other assignments...

We're thankful this year of learning is off to a great start!

YTI's tuition is already a great value — and with our subscription program, master's students can earn their degree at an even lower cost!
