Seth Parker Woods, Cello

This concert has sold out, but tickets to other Weekend Concert Series performances are still available.

PROGRAM

Hailed by The Guardian as “a cellist of power and grace” who possesses “mature artistry and willingness to go to the brink,” cellist Seth Parker Woods has established his reputation as a versatile artist and innovator across multiple genres. His projects delve deep into our cultural fabric, reimagining traditional works and commissioning new ones to propel classical music into the future.

In the 2021-2022 season, he premiered concertos by Rebecca Saunders and Tyshawn Sorey. Beyond his intense international touring schedule, Seth will release a new solo album on Cedille Records, and contribute to the soundtrack of the PBS documentary The U.S. and the Holocaust, a film by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein.

A fierce advocate for contemporary arts, Woods has collaborated and worked with a wide range of artists ranging from the likes of Louis Andriessen, Elliott Carter, G. F. Haas, and Helmut Lachenmann, to Peter Gabriel, Sting, Dame Shirley Bassey, to such visual artists as Vanessa Beecroft, Adam Pendleton, and Aldo Tambellini.

Seth Parker Woods is joined by Andrew Rosenblum on the piano.
