Publisher David Wood, who founded CS—together with his wife, Carla Wood (a.k.a. CJ Williamson) —looks back on 20 years in the business.
In this special edition, we pay tribute to the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Classical Singer magazine. Carla Wood (her singing name), also known as CJ Williamson (her editorial name), made an indelible mark on the world of singing. Her husband, David Wood, gives an insider’s look at her life and career as a singer, editor, wife, mother, and friend. Her life was one of many challenges— from back pain, to bipolar disorder, and finally to cancer—and yet she rose above these hardships to have a positive impact on tens of thousands of singers and forever change the business of singing. You can view singers’ comments about the life of Carla Wood, and add your own, at www.classicalsinger.com/carla_wood/.
CS magazine and the CS Community website continue to evolve to better meet the needs of singers and to take advantage of emerging technologies. Not surprisingly, the internet is playing an increasingly important role in the marketing, preparation and presentation of singers
