Wei Luo [Gilmore Rising Stars]

We conclude the season with a performance from 2018 Gilmore Young Artist Wei Luo, an artist who is able to immerse herself and the audience in the music to an astonishing degree. Among other works, Ms. Luo will perform Poems, a work she commissioned, written specifically for her, by contemporary American composer and pianist Marc Neikrug. Asked how audience members might best appreciate listening to the piece she replied, “My best tip is that we let our imagination come out, relax, and feel the atmosphere and colors the music and I create.”

She and her music, so beautiful. She cares about every note. All one thing. Thank You Ms. Wei and Gilmore Series.

I listened to her whole program. My conclusion is that she is truly awesome not just technically but artistically as well. She comes from a great tradition of Professor Gary Graffman who taught Yuja Wang, Lang Lang and Haochen Zhang.
