AUDITIONS are now being held for the 34th CPC season. Click here for more information
Kevin Kelehan, winner of the Sousa Baton contest, accepting the plaudits of the audience and performers at the conclusion of his world premiere as a conductor, leading the CPC and Lexington Brass in John Philip Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever to conclude the American Celebration concert, the final presentation of Columbia Pro Cantare's 33rd season.
And below we have what CPC believes to be a scoop of unprecedented import: a view of the world's FIRST left-handed conductor, a southpaw virtuoso of the baton, caught in action at the Jim Rouse Theatre. Maestro Kelehan's technique seems to have sprung fully developed in this, his first foray into the world of public performance.
