Classical music performances

edit

Lu is a classical pianist by training and has played concerts in several countries. In New York City, Lu has performed recitals at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall,[6][7] and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center.[8] In Europe, Lu performed at the Rome National Music Festival and Vasto Italy Festival. She also performed a recital in Barletta, Italy.

Multimedia works

edit

Lu's Amore multimedia work[11] mixed a classical recital with animation created from Paul Chiang's paintings. Her Water on Fire piano recital[12] combined Western classical music with Eastern poetry from a Taiwan poet, Goya Lan. Lu curated artwork from over thirty seven artists at the Art Taipei exhibition.[13] She was later invited to perform at the opening ceremony of Art Taipei 2020,[14] and at the Diversonics Festival 2021.[15] She also curated the Sacred Garden at the international Ars Electronica Festival in 2021.[16]

Lu was the music director for Sayion I[17] and Sayion II,[18] which incorporated music with dancers that are suited up in sensors that controlled the visual background. In collaboration with IF+, Lu produced Obsession, employing various immersive technologies including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), all under the umbrella of XR extended reality.[19]
