The critical accolades afforded to Seth Parker Woods are striking and illustrative. Described as a cellist of “power and grace” by The Guardian and of “prodigious technical gifts and sharp intellect” by The New York Times Mr. Woods is a singular and powerful artist. His programming and indeed his playing challenge listeners to examine their aesthetic social and personal assumptions. His expertly curated program Thus Spoke Their Verse centers around a commissioned semi-autobiographical piece Difficult Grace and uses moving contemporary works to reframe the classical cello canon. This “dazzlingly inventive” (Gramophone) program will leave you a more thoughtful engaged and inspired listener.
