About Lyndon Woodside
Lived 1935 – 2005 (aged 70). Lyndon Woodside was an American conductor and choir director.
Lyndon Woodside (March 23, 1935 in Florence, South Carolina – August 23, 2005 in Englewood, New Jersey) was the 10th conductor of the Oratorio Society of New York. He toured Europe and the Americas, but his home performance space was Carnegie Hall, built by Andrew Carnegie to house the Society.
