ANDREW SEWELL, Music Director, Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra Currently serving his thirteenth season as Music Director of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, Andrew Sewell continues to garner rave reviews and plaudits for his adventuresome programming, vitality and energy. For ten seasons, he also served as Music Director with the Wichita Symphony concluding in 2010.

His previous appointments include Music Director and Conductor of the Wichita Symphony (Kansas), Mansfield Symphony (Ohio), Resident Conductor of the Toledo Symphony and Assistant Conductor of the Memphis Symphony.

Maestro Sewell resides in Madison with his wife, Mary and their son Alistair, the last of three children, still in high school.
