Cellist Jacques Lee Wood in Concert

Cellist Jacques Lee Wood will perform Sunday, October 20 at 2:00 PM at the Windsor Art Center, 40 Mechanic Street, Windsor, CT.  Combining a dynamic and expressive style with intelligence and sensitivity, Wood is gaining attention as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician of the highest caliber.  His active performance career covers a broad range of repertoire from historically informed performance of the Baroque, Classic, and Romantic periods to newly composed works.      

From a musical family of Korean and European heritage, Jacques Lee Wood began his music studies from a young age.  At the age of eleven, just two years after he began studying the cello, he gave his first concerto appearance.  Since then, Mr. Wood has traveled the world performing solo, recital, and chamber music concerts, often collaborating with some of the world’s finest musicians.  Most recently, Mr. Wood has performed with the American Baroque Orchestra, the Seoul National Symphony Orchestra in Korea, and the Ureuk Symphony at Merkin Hall in New York City.  Mr. Wood coaches chamber music in the Yale Department of Music and the Yale School of Music.  He is currently a Doctoral Candidate at Yale University.       

Suggested donation is $10 at the door.  For more information, call 860-688-2528 or visit www.windsorartcenter.org.
