DISTINGUISHED conductor Kenneth Woods has been taking final rehearsals with Academia Musica, the Scholars’ Choir of Hereford Sixth Form College who will be performing the Mozart Requiem with The English Symphony Orchestra in Hereford Cathedral tomorrow night.
Sixth Form College principal Jonathan Godfrey said, “This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to perform with a top professional orchestra and the distinguished conductor, Kenneth Woods, who has worked with many orchestras of international renown including the Royal Philharmonic.”
Kenneth Woods said “I had heard of the fantastic standards achieved by Academia Musica under their director Aryan Arji from Michael Bochmann, leader of the ESO, and was very impressed by their CDs. I am delighted to be working with such an outstanding chorus”.
Aryan Arji, director of music of Academia Musica added: “Kenneth Woods was described by the Washington Post as a ‘true star’ of the podium. It is a privilege for our students to be able to work with him”.
