Praised by the New York Times for her "soaring" playing and by the Boston Globe for "lyricism," Taiwan-born cellist Mimi Yu is known for her cutting-edge experiments in blending East and West and melding art forms.Ms. Yu's artistic vision is based on her unwavering belief in the ability to unite people through the arts.
She has performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and has collaborated with the world’s greatest classical musicians such as Itzhak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma. Her inter-disciplinary artistic vision was the motivation behind creative works such as Sound Sculpture I, a collaboration between music, sculptures and movement. Other performance highlights include solo appearances with Carnegie Hall’s ’s “Ancient Path, Modern Voices”, the New York Continuum, New Juilliard Ensemble, and Kaohsiung Philharmonic Orchestra, performances as principal cellist for Tan Dun ’s “Secret Land”, recital debut with Juilliard’s Emerging Stars, and soloist at the 10th Chinese Leader Summit. Ms. Yu is a versatile performer who believes in the promise of new music. She has premiered composers such as Pamela Z, Errollyn Wallen, Guo Wen Jing, Tan Dun, Robert Xavier Rodríguez, Dimitry Yanovsky, Laura Schwendinger, and Kayhan Kalhor of the Silkroad Project. Past season performances have featured debuts at Alice Tully Hall, MoMA Summergarden, Neue Galerie, BAM, Chi Mei Museum, Make Music NY, Aspen, American Repertory Theater, Zankel Hall, Rose Theater at Lincoln Center, Severance Hall, Taiwan National Concert Hall, TECO, Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall, MET, FOCUS festival, Fromm Music Foundation, Boca Raton Festival of the Arts, Palm Beach, Santa Barbara Lobero Theater, and 9/11 Memorial Performance at Ground Zero, which was nationally televised. Upon leaving Taiwan at the age of fifteen, Ms. Yu completed the Young Artist Diploma program at the Cleveland Institute of Music. She went on to attend Harvard College and graduated with magna cum laude distinction in economics. Upon graduation, she moved to New York to study at The Juilliard School, where she led the orchestra as the principal cellist and assisted in teaching liberal arts and orchestral repertoire. As a teaching artist, Ms. Yu has delivered lectures and master classes at more than twenty Chinese universities and taught underprivileged children in New York. She is now part of the faculty team at the Juilliard Career Development Mentoring Program. With a father from Taiwan and a mother from China, Ms. Yu was raised with help from her grandmother, who overcame poverty and illiteracy to become a small storeowner. Ms. Yu's memoir "Flying Solo," published in 2012, was a bestseller in Taiwan. Ms. Yu's EP album “In a Faraway Land” with The Shanghai Restoration Project is available on iTunes and Amazon, and her full album will debut in late 2013. Chi Mei Museum Sound Sculpture I
