Seth Parker Woods

**Seth Parker Woods** is a genre-bending cellist who thrives at the intersection of classical music, experimental sounds, and multimedia storytelling. Known for his fearless collaborations and technical brilliance, Woods has become a go-to interpreter for contemporary composers like Anna Thorvaldsdottir, whose haunting *Ubique* he’s championed. His work often amplifies marginalized voices and reimagines what a cello can do—whether through solo performances, interdisciplinary projects, or partnerships with ensembles like ICE (International Contemporary Ensemble).

Recent releases like *Difficult Grace* and *A Wedding Or…* showcase his knack for weaving raw emotion with avant-garde textures. Based in Chicago, Woods isn’t just a performer—he’s a sonic adventurer who treats his cello as both an instrument and a conversation starter, constantly pushing classical music into bold new spaces.
