(For more information visit his website)
Kenneth Woods spent his teenage years as a rock'n'roll and jazz guitarist inspired
by Jimi Hendrix. He studied the cello at the same time, helped found the Taliesin
Trio and the Masala Quartet, and still performs on the cello. He pursued his
advanced conducting studies as a fellowship student at the University of Cincinnati
College-Conservatory of Music, and also studied at leading summer institutes
and workshops around the world.
Already known in America as one of the most exciting conductors of the new
generation, Kenneth is quickly becoming recognized as a major talent on the
international scene. He has worked with many orchestras of international distinction
including the National Symphony Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony, the BBC
National Orchestra of Wales, the Budapest Festival Orchestra and the State of
Mexico Symphony Orchestra. He has also appeared on the stages of some of the
world's leading music festivals, including Aspen, Lucerne, Round Top and Scotia.
His work on the concert platform and in the recording studio has led to numerous
broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, National Public Radio, and the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation. He is currently Music Director of the Oregon East Symphony, Surrey
Mozart Players and Principal Guest Conductor of the Rose City Chamber Orchestra.
