Under the tutelage of She-e Wu, Simeon Lee will showcase his exceptional skills alongside Julianna Wang on flute.

The evening's program promises a diverse and engaging selection of works, including Christos Hatzis's "Fertility Rites," David Lang's "the anvil chorus," Andy Akiho's "-intuition Expectation," and a special arrangement of Antônio Carlos Jobim's "Chega de Saudade" by Gary Burton. This recital offers a unique opportunity to experience the depth and versatility of percussion music, from contemporary compositions to classic favorites.
