Wu brings piano virtuosity, free lesson to Bellingham

Chinese-born Di Wu performs works by Debussy, Ravel and Gounod-Liszt at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 22, at Western Washington University's Performing Arts Center Concert Hall, then will offer a free class for young pianists.

Praised in The Wall Street Journal as a "musically mature and sensitive pianist," Wu has played throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. Her appearance is part of the Sanford Piano Series; all of the series revenue goes towards scholarship money for talented WWU piano majors.

Tickets, $9 to $16, are available at 360-650-6146, and tickets.wwu.edu. A limited number of tickets are available at Village Books and the Community Food Co-op.
