To convey the unspeakable.
Philosophy
The reason I compose is not a unilateral question. Inspiration draws from the experience of life in its most sufficient form. Striving to reflect the most seemingly mundane peaceful moments to the most emotionally stimulating. It is only then, I then stop writing for myself… and start creating for people.
Biography
Currently enrolled at UNC, 2024 will be the first year Benjamin Woodard will have consistent groups to compose for. Influenced by the philosophies of his mentors at the University of Idaho, he strives to recreate the idea of music from being just pleasurable listening to the programmatic reflection of life that reaches an audience with meaning and substance. He has written for orchestras, wind ensembles, solo guitar, jazz bands, small jazz ensembles, and classical ensembles.
