Bay Area native Annie Wu has already made a mark in the flute world with her vibrant musical voice. She counts among her achievements a Harvard award-winning album project, concerti performances with orchestras around the world, the title of Presidential Scholar of the Arts, and a viral beatbox flute video. In 2015, Wu won first prize in the Astral Artists’ national audition and joined the Astral roster as one of their youngest artists. Since then, Wu has performed dynamic recitals at Boston’s Jordan Hall, Strathmore’s Mansion, D.C.’s Phillips Collection, among others. Her projects have included text-conscious arrangements of vocal works, a commission from Grammy-nominated composer Anna Clyne, a dinner-concert-experience based on mushrooms, and an autobiographical album loosely inspired by desserts.

A graduate of the Harvard-New England Conservatory 5-Year Dual Degree Program, Wu holds a Comparative Literature degree magna cum laude from Harvard University and a Master’s in Flute Performance from NEC, where she studied with Paula Robison. Wu now lives in Brooklyn working, teaching, and performing.
