Daughter of Pontiac dealer Doc Yager, Sue Yager first came to the Capital district's attention as star of a 1949-1950 WRGB local talent show called "Your Musical Teller," accompanied by Earle Pudney. After the show ended, she toured the country as a member of the Liebling Singers concert ensemble. She made her operatic solo debut with the Philadelphia Light Opera Company, and in subsequent years made her way to the New York City stage.
The mezzo soprano's vocal career was cut short by a boating accident in 1964, after which she threw herself into the local music scene. creating the Women's Vanguard of the Albany Symphony, writing classical record reviews for the Times Union, and serving on the boards of the Albany Institute of History and Art, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, and the National Opera Institute, among others. She was appointed to the NYS Council on the Arts by Governor Malcolm Wilson. Sue Yager was a mainstay in the area's social circles until her death in 2021.
