Lyndon Woodside
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lyndon Woodside (1935-2005) was the 10th conductor of the Oratorio Society of New York, and resided in Leonia, New Jersey. He toured Europe and the Americas, but his home performance space was Carnegie Hall, built by Andrew Carnegie to house the Society. While his repertoire was broad, perhaps he was best known for the annual Christmas-time production of Handel's Messiah.
He maintained his directorship until he died of pneumonia in 2005.
