Wei Luo - Solo Piano Sponsored by - Dianna and John Shomaker, Firestone Family Foundation
Wei Luo is recognized as one of the
most significant pianists of her gen-
eration, performing on many of the
world’s leading stages. In 2019 her
debut album was released on Uni-
versal Music Group’s Gold Label and
featured in Gramophone Magazine
as one of the most exciting new
releases. The San Diego Tribune
said, “…this recording reveals a daz-
zling artist with an astonishing
range of colors at her disposal.”
Born in Shenzhen, China, Luo began
piano lessons at age five and gave
her debut recital in Hong Kong at
age six. Winner of numerous compe-
titions in China, Luo also claimed
first prize in the Chopin Interna-
tional Competition for Young Artists
and the Rachmaninov International
Piano Competition for Young
Artists. At age 13, Luo was accepted
to the prestigious Curtis Institute of
Music where she is currently pursu-
ing her bachelor’s degree. Luo is a
recipient of the Gilmore Young
Artist Award and was also awarded a
Career Grant from Salon de Virtuosi,
based in New York.
In past seasons Luo made her recital debut in Herbst Hall presented by San Francisco Perfor-
mances. She performed at Festival Napa Valley and the Mostly Mozart Festival, and she
continued her love of chamber music at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. This past year
Luo gave a 13-concert recital tour throughout China’s major cities.
