Asian-German pianist Yu-Lien The (D.M.A.) has appeared throughout the US, Europe, and Southeast-Asia as a recitalist and chamber musician. A prizewinner of the 12th International Piano Competition Viotti-Valsesia (Italy) and the Deutsche Musikwettbewerb, she has performed at the Gilmore Keyboard Festival and venues such as Detroit Symphony Hall and Carnegie Hall. Dr. The frequently collaborates with saxophonists Joe Lulloff and Henning Schröder, and they have championed new works by composers such as Dorothy Chang, Stacy Garrop, and Carter Pann.
A dedicated piano pedagogue and sought-after clinician, Dr. The is an Associate Professor of Keyboard Studies at WMU’s Irving S. Gilmore School of Music, where she teaches Applied Piano, Keyboard Literature, Keyboard Pedagogy, coaches chamber music ensembles, and supervises the class piano program. She spends her summers teaching and performing at the Brevard Summer Music Institute in North Carolina. Dr. The also engages in discourse of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Her latest project is a collaboration with Bethany Kamau McKnight, creating a database of piano pedagogy pieces composed and arranged by underrepresented composers.
This concert is presented in collaboration with Foundry Hall and is supported in part by Holtec-Palisades, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
