With over 70 active members at any given time, the TFO is one of the university's largest and most active performing ensembles. Its repertoire includes works by Mahler, Beethoven, Mozart and Handel, and it performs both on campus and in the greater Boston community, as well as touring to such countries as Jamaica, Portugal, Iceland, Greece, Brazil, France, Germany and Costa Rica.

The holder of artist diplomas in piano performance and choral conducting and a DMA in orchestral conducting, Ms Yaacobi held senior posts in Germany and Tel Aviv, including those of staff conductor and chorus mistress of the New Israeli opera prior to coming to the US.
