Henry Wood

Wood, Sir Henry J. (1869-1944). English conductor. Initially an organist and composer, Wood studied at London's Royal College of Music. He made his conducting début in 1888; he also helped Sullivan prepare The Yeomen of the Guard and Ivanhoe and conducted the British première of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin (1892). In 1895 Wood founded the enormously influential Queen's Hall Promenade Concerts, which he conducted until his death. His Fantasia on British Sea-Songs, an arrangement written in 1905 for the centenary of Trafalgar, has become an immovable part of the Last Night of the Proms.
