Eleanor Anderson

 Eleanor Anderson and her son Kurt Anderson are co-managers of Woodbury Press, the music company formed by Eleanor’s late husband, Leroy Anderson.  As composer and arranger, Leroy published popular classical music that helped create a whole new musical genre during the late 1940s and 1950s.  The Boston Pops featured most of Leroy’s works with several becoming hit recordings, including “Sleigh Ride” and “The Blue Tango.”  Since Leroy’s passing in the early 1970s, Eleanor has ensured her husband’s music is available to all who ask.  They have worked hard to keep Leroy’s legacy a live and worked with PBS to create a centennial celebration of his birth in 2008.
