“A cellist of power and grace”
– The Guardian
Throughout the set, Parker Woods showcased the range and depth of his instrument through virtuosic performances that combined both technical prowess and delicate grace."
– I Care If You Listen
"Cellist Seth Parker Woods did the audience a service in reviving “Lamentations” by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, a singular composer who spent the twilight of his career at the Center for Black Music Research at Columbia College Chicago. We need to hear more of “Perk’s” music, and in performances as impassioned as Woods’.”
– Chicago Tribune
"...cellist Seth Parker Woods, who is quickly becoming a groundbreaking new-music star both in the avant-garde and pop worlds.”
– Los Angeles Times
“Utterly thrilling, and Woods unstoppable performance was outstanding.”
