Please join us for a special performance by Daniel Lu. Daniel started piano lessons around kindergarten and has always been a part of the music world. He studied piano with Anna Golka and Robert Roux in Houston and Xak Bjerken at Cornell University. He picked up the violin as a secondary instrument in middle school and played in youth orchestras throughout high school. 

He currently works for NASA and designs electronics for space telescopes and planetary radars. He got his start singing in choruses and musical theater in NASA's theater group and has been singing with the Congressional Choir since 2013.  In 2016, he picked up the violin and joined the Capital City Symphony that fall. Occasionally, he plays in the pit orchestra for theater shows or jazz piano for events. 

He wrote a set of pieces for piano and violin and a piano concerto during the 2020 pandemic and premiered his flute concerto with the Capital City Symphony in March 2022. Daniel is currently working on a clarinet sonata and planning to write a small choral piece. His recent piece, Still Undercurrents for flute choir, will be performed in November by the Columbia Flute Choir for the flute choir festival event. This event takes place in the North Atrium.
