Seth Parker Woods, celloConor Hanick, piano

Cellist Seth Parker Woods and pianist Conor Hanick join forces for a compelling evening of music that bridges tradition and contemporary discovery. Woods, a three-time Grammy nominee, is known for his versatile and inventive musicality, while Hanick is praised for his precision in both classic and modern repertoire. Their program features Fazıl Say’s vivid *Four Cities*, George Walker’s 1956 Sonata for cello and piano—noted by *Gramophone* as “more compellingly characterful” on their recording, with “the raw vulnerability of the central slow movement”—and Rachmaninoff’s sweeping Cello Sonata, Op. 19, one of the most passionate works in the duo repertoire. This performance is part of Washington Performing Arts’ Recitalist Series, which presents industry icons and rising artists.
