This fall, the Windham Orchestra is embarking on an exciting season with Music Director Hugh Keelan returning to the podium.  Originally from England, Hugh received his training at Cambridge University, Indiana University, and the Mannes School of Music.  He has been music director of the Erie Philharmonic and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic.  The Orchestra, and BMC, feel fortunate to have a conductor of Hugh’s caliber to lead the orchestra and want to share the experience and opportunity with musicians and audience members throughout the region.
