Wood started his career as an organist. During his studies + at the Royal Academy of Music, he came under the influence of the voice + teacher Manuel Garcia and became his accompanist. After similar work + for Richard D'Oyly Carte's opera companies on the works of Arthur + Sullivan and others, Wood became the conductor of a small operatic + touring company. From the mid-1890s until his death, Wood focused on + concert conducting.

By the 1920s, + Wood had steered the repertoire entirely to classical music. In + addition to the Proms, he conducted concerts and festivals throughout + the country and also trained the student orchestra at the Royal Academy + of Music. He had an enormous influence on the musical life of Britain + over his long career: he and Newman greatly improved access to + classical music, and Wood raised the standard of orchestral playing and + nurtured the taste of the public, presenting a vast repertoire of music + spanning four centuries.
