sensitivity" in his playing. Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Mr. Tu came to the
United States at the age of fourteen, after winning Taiwan’s National
Youth Piano Competition. In 2004, Mr. Tu made his New York debut at

following year to give concerts and radio interviews throughout his
native country, which concluded in a performance at the Taiwan National
Recital Hall. After studying with Hung-Kuan Chen at Boston University
and the University of Calgary, Mr. Tu has recently earned the Doctoral
of Musical Arts degree from the Juilliard School, under the guidance of
Jerome Lowenthal.
Top prize winner at the New Orleans International Piano Competition,
