Chinese-born and raised classical soprano and actress Lena Wu recently captivated a New York City audience with her enchanting New Year’s Vocal Recital and Party on January 3. Wu, who actively pursues her passion without the backing of an agent or management, showcased her exceptional talent in a diverse repertoire of classical and Chinese songs.
The event at Hephzibah House NYC unfolded as a celebration of love and music. Lena Wu, alongside accomplished pianist Eric Sedgwick, presented a selection of works by renowned composers that traversed time, echoing the universal theme of love.
The program featured classical standards such as “Deh vieni non tardar” (Susanna) and “Quando men vo” (Musetta), where Wu showcased her vocal prowess, portraying characters with depth and emotion. Additionally, Chinese song sets conveyed themes of separation, reminiscence, and deep, sincere love, providing a rich cultural tapestry to the evening.
Eric Sedgwick, a Manhattan School of Music and Brown University graduate accompanied Wu with exceptional piano skills. Sedgwick, who has shared the stage with top musical talents, brought a wealth of experience to the collaborative performance.
Wu’s powerful interpretations of pieces like “Sweeter than Rose,” “C’est l’extase,” and “Apparition” demonstrated her ability to convey sensuality and mystique through her singing. The event seamlessly blended music recital, social time, and celebration, offering attendees a delightful experience.
Reflecting on her journey, Lena Wu expressed, “Music has been my guiding light, helping me survive the darkness. ‘Ain’t a Pretty Night,’ one of my favorite pieces, captures the beauty around me while expressing the yearning for what lies beyond the mountains in big cities like New York.”
As a versatile artist, Wu has graced opera performances such as “The Magic Flute,” “La clemenza di Tito,” and “Carmen.” Her acting credits include appearances in television and film productions like “The Neglect Vision” and “Kitchen Memories.”
