The concert, which will be presented by Pitt-Bradford Arts, will take place in the Studio Theater of Blaisdell Hall.

Wu is an award-winning artist whose musical performances fuse the guzheng’s ancient Eastern roots with Western and modern music. Wu will also talk throughout the performance about the history of the instrument.
