Cambridge Arts Council Grant Recipients February 13, 2007 press release

 

Announcing the recipients, Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves lauded the vitality of the Cambridge cultural community, saying:
 

There is no place like Cambridge for the Arts.  Whether you encounter the dance distractions of Dance Month, or thrill to the talents of the members who make up the Cambridge Symphony Orchestra…the arts express the unique character of this community.


Ms. Woods’ travels have taken her to Oregon where she joined the Grande Rhonde Symphony for the West Coast premier of Pulitzer Prize winner Ellen Taaffe Zwillich’s Upbeat.  The remainder of the program included Elgar’s Cello Concerto and the Enigma Variations.
John Galigour, critic for the Sun Valley News had this to say about the performance:

Those who attended the Grande Rhonde Symphony Orchestra concert were treated to a dashing musical performance.  The first piece was “Upbeat”… conducted by Cynthia Woods; the outcome was dynamic and immersing.



Woods’ musical maturity and enthusiasm are an inspiration…

Matt Antonacci, Register Citizen
 

One of MS. Woods’ first roles in her career was to turn around the venerable but struggling chamber orchestra of Boston’s Arts District-the South End.  In an engaging article Ms. Woods spoke with reporter Franklin B. Tucker of the South End News about the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead for the ensemble.
