WU HAN Pianist Wu Han ranks among the most esteemed and influential classical musicians in the world today. Her career has taken her to many of the world's most prestigious venues, including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and Washington's Kennedy Center. She has toured North and South America, Europe, and the Far East, and her regular summer festival appearances include Aspen, Santa Fe, Chamber Music Northwest, Caramoor, and Music@Menlo. Wu Han is active as a concerto soloist as well, recently appearing with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in a performance of the Beethoven Triple Concerto. Last season, with cellist David Finckel and the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra (Columbus, OH), Wu Han appeared in the world premiere of Compadrazgo, a new double concerto by Gabriela Lena Frank composed for David Finckel and Wu Han. Wu Han is a frequent collaborator with many of today's finest musicians and ensembles, including the Borromeo, Emerson, Pacifica, and St. Lawrence Quartets. With David Finckel, Wu Han performs extensively across the United States and Europe and has given three critically acclaimed Wigmore Hall recitals.

Wu Han's wide-ranging musical activities include the founding of ArtistLed, classical music's first musician-directed, Internet-based recording company, now celebrating its tenth year. All nine ArtistLed recordings have received critical acclaim and are available via the company’s website (www.artistled.com). The label's Russian Classics recording received BBC Music magazine's coveted Editor's Choice Award. ArtistLed's recently released "Russian Recital" album features works by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and Scriabin and marks Wu Han’s first full-length solo recording for the label.
