Just in: US orch replaces one Brit chief with another
mainThe New Haven Symphony Orchestra have found a music director to succeed William Boughton.
The new guy, just named, is Alasdair Neale, presently music director of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony (Idaho) and the Marin Symphony (California). A Yale grad, Neale was raised in the UK.
It appears he will keep both of his other jobs.
This is a brilliant decision! Neale will continue to take the New Haven Symphony to new heights!

thanks
Maestro Neale will continue as Music Director both at the Marin Symphony, and at the Sun Valley Summer Symphony.
I had the pleasure of working with him about 16 or 17 years ago. A wonderful talent, a wonderful person. Great news indeed!
I’m pretty sure he went to St Catharine’s College, Cambridge as an undergraduate back in 1979 and won an Instrumental Award as a flautist. I was up for the same thing – he got in and I didn’t!
Terrific news — Alasdair Neale will do great, solid work there. He already has a true connection to the Yale/New Haven community, and his musicianship is the best.
