Artist Profile
Jacques Lee Wood · cello
Esther Park · piano
Noted for his “expressive warmth and sensitivity, and technical ease” (Melrose Gazette), cellist Jacques Lee Wood is gaining attention as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. Wood’s interest in teaching and research supplements an active performance career that covers a broad range of repertoire and interests: from historically informed performance of the Baroque, Classic, and Romantic periods to newly composed works.
Pianist Esther Park has performed as a soloist with orchestras and in recitals across the United States as well as Asia and major European cities. Ms. Park has appeared as soloist with many orchestras such as the Houston Symphony, Corpus Christi Symphony, the Filharmonia Pomorska in Poland, Shanghai Philharmonic in China, the American Academy of Conducting Orchestra at Aspen, Shreveport Symphony, the Juilliard Symphony, and the New Jersey Symphony.
A top prizewinner at the arts competition and the Fischoff Chamber Music competition, Wood has performed extensively across the globe. Committed to seeking out new areas to explore, Wood is a founding member and co-artistic director of the Boston-based Antico Moderno (an ensemble that commissions new works for period instruments) and StringLab (a cello/guitar duo with Simon Powis that produces original arrangements/compositions and commissions new works). He is a principal player with the Grammynominated Trinity Baroque Orchestra, Bachsolisten Seoul, Grand Harmonie, Music at Eden’s Edge, and the American Baroque Orchestra, and is a frequent guest artist with A Far Cry, Bach Collegium Japan, Firebird Ensemble, as well as the Sebastians. He is currently the co-artistic director of Music at Eden’s Edge, and he also serves on the faculty at the Korea Philharmonic Summer Research Institute, Seoul National Symphony Orchestra Summer Academy. Wood received his MM and MMA degrees from Yale University under Aldo Parisot, and his BM at New England Conservatory under Laurence Lesser.
Ms. Park gave a five-city recital tour in Korea, she and has performed at the Juilliard Theater in NYC, Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Halls’ Weill Recital Hall, Salle Cortot in Paris, and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
