Pianist and arranger Alexander A Wu joined the elite roster of Yamaha performing artists in 2010. The Washington Post praised: “Wu’s exuberant etudes on Gershwin songs and the dreamy Ellington’s Reflections in D – sounded assured and settled… he is uncommonly attractive and entertaining.” Alexander performs on the international stages as a soloist, collaborative chamber and orchestral player, a lecturer engaging audiences with his inspired “Piano-Talk with Alexander Wu” programs. He has given concerts and master classes at the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Smithsonian American Art Museum, National Gallery of Art, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, 92NY, Merkin Concert Hall, Armor Hall at Wave Hill, Bargemusic, Bard College, Mannes College, the New School, Hofstra University, Trinity Church Wall Street, Norton Museum of Art, Florida Atlantic University and Musikfest (PA).
His discography, available on cdbaby.com and iTunes.com, includes; his two solo CDs – Bach to the Future: Classical & Jazz Piano and Rhythm Road across the Americas; a piano four-hand Broadway to classical album, Four Hand Band, a crossover chamber jazz album ZigZag Quartet, and the much-anticipated all George Gershwin Piano Solo to be released in fall 2025.
Alexander has served on the piano faculty at City College at CUNY and is on the piano and chamber music faculty at Third Street Music School in the East Village, and artistic director, conductor and founder of the LLC, Project—Going the Distance Players in NYC.
