HSU Faculty Artist Series: Garrick Woods and Rex Woods
Wind down from a busy week and settle into the holidays with a wonderful father and son concert, a part of the HSU Department of Music Faculty Artist Series, on Friday, December 15 at 8:00 p.m. in Fulkerson Recital Hall. Cellist and HSU Assistant Professor of Music Garrick Woods shares a concert with his father, pianist Rex Woods, who has been Garrick’s partner in music making since he was a child. This is a program they recently performed together in Arizona and they are delighted to share it with the HSU and Humboldt County music communities. This program will include many shorter, light-hearted pieces, contrasted with some more virtuostic works. And as an added bonus, Garrick will also sing and play bass on the program. “We’ve played together my whole life,” says Garrick, “Often with other family members as well (my brother is a violinist and my mother is a singer.)” The family even has a recording they made professionally that is available on Spotify called Woodsmusick Ensemble - Richard Faith: Neo-Romantic Music for Mixed Chamber Ensemble. On this Faculty Artist Series program, expect to hear music by a variety of artists, including familiar composers like Schubert, Schumann, and Chopin. $10 General, $5 Senior/Child, $5 for HSU students with ID Rex Woods, pianist, has performed in the United States, Canada, Mexico, France, China, and Australia, but is best known to regional audiences for his frequent artistic performances as both a soloist and chamber musician.
