Wei Luo Confirms 10 Dates For China

Wei Luo is recognised as a significant pianist of her generation. Having already performed on many of the world’s leading stages in her young career, Wei Luo’s self-titled debut album released in 2019 was a momentous event. It is no surprise that Universal Music Group’s Decca Gold was the label to work with. The release received rave reviews. San Diego Union Tribune commended the recording, said: “This recording reveals a dazzling artist with an astonishing range of colours at her disposal, put to the service of a confident young soul whose musicality suggests the experience of someone two decades older.”

Her recent 13-concert recital tour nationwide – in China’s major cities including Shanghai Concert Hall, Beijing National Center of Performing Art, and Guangzhou Opera House in Harbin – are just a few of the prominent venues hosting the tour.
