"Vermont is home to several fine community orchestras and on Friday, in a concert at Vermont Academy, the Brattleboro Music Center's Windham Orchestra prove to be one of, if not the best."
Jim Lowe, The Times Argus and Rutland Herald, 5/09

The Windham Orchestra is delighted to welcome Music Director Hugh Keelan for the 2010-2011 concert season. The Orchestra takes great pride in its 40-year history of presenting symphonic music in southeastern Vermont, performing new music by local composers, keeping classical music vital and building future audiences. For the 2010-2011 concert season, Maestro Hugh Keelan has created a series of concerts that combine great symphonic standards with intriguing, out of the mainstream, orchestral gems. Performances will take place in November, January, March and June with concerts held in Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, and Saxtons River. See Schedule.
