About William Boughton
Conductor William Boughton has enjoyed equal success on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1980, Boughton founded the English String Orchestra; later, as the group began to play repertory for larger ensembles, it was renamed the English Symphony Orchestra. Boughton commissioned new works from many top British composers during his tenure and led the orchestra in an acclaimed series of recordings; his debut came in 1985 with the album Britten: Works for String Orchestra. Boughton continued to conduct the English Symphony Orchestra until the 2005-2006 season. In 2019, he became the music director of the Yale Symphony Orchestra. In 2024, he led the Yale Symphony Orchestra on the album Paul Reale: American Mosaic.
