Hello! I’m so glad you’re here.
music
Taiwanese-American harpist Tiffany Wu 吳欣穎 (she/her) is based in NYC and LA.
She is passionate about creating multimedia performance experiences and exploring music as a civic practice. Her current interests include studying the role of the arts in justice, and exploring the intersectionality between literature and song. She’s previously performed with the Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra, United Nations Orchestra, After Arts, Groupmuse, among others. An avid performer of new music, Tiffany has also worked with numerous contemporary artists and speakers for performances and/or recordings, including Vince Bell, O-Lan Jones, Leon Lacey, Dick Griffin, Trent Shelton, and Dave Soldier. When not on stage, Tiffany plays private engagements for clients. Past performances include a run of A Little Night Music with Kate Baldwin and the American Theatre Group and a Pride Month Concert in collaboration with the Old Stone House in Brooklyn.
She holds performance degrees from Northwestern University and New York University, and her principal teachers include Lyric Opera harpists Elizabeth Cifani and Lynn Williams, and jazz harpist Brandee Younger. In her spare time, she forgets her tea on the windowsill, enjoys Ghibli movies, writes poetry, and is a passably acceptable plant mom.
