Lee University’s School of Music will welcome pianist Dr. Alan Woo for his performance on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 7:30 p.m. in Squires Recital Hall, located in the Humanities Center on Lee’s campus.  

The performance will feature selections such as Schubert’s “Piano Sonata in G Major, D. 894” and Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition.”  

Praised by the New York Times as a pianist with “assurance and vitality,” Dr. Woo made his Lincoln Center debut at Alice Tully Hall performing with the Julliard Orchestra under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin. He has since collaborated with conductors Daniel Hege, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, and Tito Muñoz in solo appearances with the Houston Symphony, Fort Worth Symphony, and Music Academy of the West Festival Orchestra.  

Dr. Woo’s recent engagements include solo recitals throughout the U.S., Brazil, Europe, and Asia. He has been featured on The McGraw Hill Financial Young Artists Showcase broadcasted on WQXR in New York and has performed in venues such as Carnegie’s Weill and Zankel Recital Halls. As chamber musician, he has made appearances at the New York Philharmonic Ensembles, Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta, Lake George Music Festival, Chamber Music Athens, Brooklyn Chamber Music Society, and La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest series, among others.  

Born in Arlington, Va., Dr. Woo is a graduate of The Julliard School and Peabody Conservatory where he completed degrees in piano performance under Robert McDonald and Yong Hi Moon. He currently teaches at the University of Georgia as an assistant professor of piano, having previously held positions at Elizabeth City State University and Peabody Institute.  

Dr. Woo is also hosting a masterclass on Tuesday at 3:45 p.m. in Pangle Hall. 

Both events are free, non-ticketed, and open to the public.
