Kenneth Woods, conductor
Upcoming Engagements-
In 25 years as a music
critic, I've never written a
story like this...about
Pendleton's symphony
pulling out all the stops to
play Mahler's First
Symphony after a
devastating fire.... Early
into it, I realized it wasn't
just about Mahler, but
about other things, too:
overcoming fear,
exhaustion and doubt,
finding your musical
passion again and the
power of belief.
