Alfred Boucher

Conductor

Alfred Boucher was a cellist and conductor active in New York in the 1840s. He was the founding first cellist of the Philharmonic Society of New York (today the New York Philharmonic), established in 1842, and one of the seven musicians who alternated as its conductor during the Society's first seasons, from 1842 to 1849, alongside Ureli Corelli Hill, Henry Christian Timm, Denis Etienne, William Alpers, George Loder and Louis Wiegers, before Theodore Eisfeld became its sole conductor. He also appeared in New York chamber concerts of the period, such as a recital at the City Hotel on 24 February 1842 with Henry Christian Timm. He was later succeeded as the orchestra's first cellist by Frederick Bergner. Source: Rondo DB
