Of flutist Annie Wu, The Mercury News said, “This artist, it seems, can do anything.” In 2015, Wu won first prize in the Astral Artists’ national audition and joined Astral’s roster as one of their youngest artists. She is the first prize winner of the James Pappoutsakis Flute Competition, Yamaha Young Performing Artist Competition, and YoungArts National Competition, and was named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts. As a concerto soloist, Wu has performed with the San Francisco Symphony, Vienna International Orchestra, California Symphony, Kentucky Symphony Orchestra, West Virginia Symphony, Livermore-Amador Symphony, Diablo Symphony Orchestra, and the San Jose Chamber Orchestra, and recitals have taken her to Boston’s Jordan Hall, Strathmore’s Mansion, and D.C.’s Phillips Collection, among others.
Wu's projects explore the narrative possibilities of music across mediums. Highlights include a chef-collaboration on a mushroom themed concert-dinner, a dessert- and diasporic- themed album of popular flute tunes, and a guest faculty spot at the Juilliard School teaching her own course on the intersections of music and literature. She holds a B.A. magna cum laude in Comparative Literature from Harvard University and an M.M. from New England Conservatory as a part of the Harvard-NEC Dual Degree Program.
