PINE TWP, Allegheny County — At 93, Robert Boudreau still has dreams, but first he has to find the vandals who smashed the glass doors of his outdoor stage. The Adams resident and world-renowned musician and conductor discovered the damage earlier this year after he began working to resurrect the American Wind Symphony Orchestra, a musical group that traveled the world for many years, performing with Bourdeau as its maestro.

One of their many venues included the unique outdoor stage situated on Boudreau’s 100-acre farm at the border of Butler and Allegheny counties.

Designed by architect Albert Filoni, the wood and stone structure is tucked into the hillside, with the stage doubling as a roof for a building below. The building, where musicians store their instruments, has massive glass doors and windows surrounding its exterior. While the stage has not been used in a long time, Boudreau hopes to clean it up and have it ready for concerts this fall.

That’s what he had in mind when he found the vandalized windows and doors earlier this year. The repairs are estimated to cost $7,000.

Northern Regional Police Captain John Sicilia said the matter is still under investigation, and police have yet to identify any suspects. The damage was not discovered until months after the act, Sicilia said, making any investigation difficult.
