Seth Parker Woods

Seth Parker Woods seeks to find new roles for the cello in his diverse performing career. His repertory involves classical music from the Baroque to the present day, and he has embarked on a wide range of collaborative projects in Europe as well as in his native U.S. In New York, Parker Woods investigated ways to cross the line between classical and pop music. He toured with such artists as Lady Gaga and Adele and was a substitute with the Orchestra of St. Luke's. He performed with the Ictus Ensemble and with experimental trombonist and composer Mike Svoboda. Under these influences, Parker Woods released his debut album, asinglewordisnotenough. In 2023, Parker Woods released the album Difficult Grace; that album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Classical Instrumental Performance.
