Kenneth Woods, conductor
Upcoming Engagements-
In 20 years of being a
music critic, I have 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.
