Herbert Withers (violoncello)
Barbara Withers (pianoforte)
Besides writing a great quantity of music, Charles Wood was famous for many years as a teacher. He taught some of our leading present-day composers, such as Vaughan Williams , and in 1924 he succeeded Stanford as Professor of Music at Cambridge University. He held the post only two years, dying in 1926. Like Stanford, he was an Irishman who settled in England and collected and edited a great many beautiful Irish tunes.
