A San Francisco Bay Area native, 18-year-old Daniel Hsu will perform his debut recital as our 2016 Gilmore Young Artist. Daniel currently attends the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.

Daniel Hsu, characterized by the Philadelphia Inquirer as a “poet with an expressive edge to his playing that charms, questions and coaxes,” is the 18-year-old younger brother of 2014 Gilmore Young Artist Andrew Hsu. He has taken first prize in the San Jose International Piano Competition, the MTAC All-State Concerto Competition, the Pacific Musical Society Piano Competition and several others.

Hsu will appear at several Festival performances in solo recital, including on Friday, May 6 at Marshall High School Auditorium and on Sunday, May 8 at Vicksburg Performing Arts Center. He also performs with the Lansing Symphony Orchestra on Wednesday, May 4.
