Scott Chaurette takes up the baton for the Willimantic Orchestra

The Willimantic Orchestra welcomes Scott Chaurette to its organization this fall, as the newly appointed conductor. The orchestra is preparing for a new season, with rehearsals continuing at E.O.Smith High School in Storrs CT, while its usual site at ECSU undergoes renovations. David Vaughan retired from conducting the Willimantic Orchestra last spring and after a yearlong search for a new conductor, Scott Chaurette was offered the position which he accepted.
