He hopes to honor the profound contributions of the masters by pushing his instrument to new frontiers of personal expression. Woodard’s compositions have been performed by a variety of esteemed ensembles and soloists, including the New England Conservatory Jazz Composers’ Workshop Orchestra, the Bach Festival Orchestra of Bethlehem, the Allentown Symphony Orchestra, concert pianist Michelle Cann, and organist Stephen Williams. In 2022, Woodard was awarded the ASCAP Foundation Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award for his piece, “Kyrie”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e19e605cfdbf28de5e188c/51d5d66b-12f2-4863-bceb-9330416d17dc/20230402_161839.jpg About - Bandleader As a bandleader, Woodard released four albums - Live at the Deer Head Inn, Precious One, Interpretation, and Completion were all released from 2022 - 2023.
