William Boughton

Music Director - New Haven Symphony Orchestra, USA
Artistic Director - Wyastone Summer Series, UK

"The Boughton era has begun. After a two-year selection process, William Boughton, a British conductor with an impressive international resume, made his debut as the 10th music director of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra at Thursday's concert at Woolsey Hall".
October 2007 – New Haven Register


"He is a serious, energetic and vital conductor with far more than his rightful share of imagination and musicality. A virtuoso." I would have thought it unlikely that, skilled as he is, he would succeed in this repertoire. But succeed he does. The fast sections of Rodeo are full of swagger, humor, and show his unabashed delight in their vervy syncopations. Boughton’s Appalachian Spring, is fully satisfying on all levels. It’s an ultra clear, probing and loving performance. The recording is both technically first-rate and generous, the orchestra is superb and Boughton brings an infectious enthusiasm to the proceedings."
