Special Event: Annie Wu and the "Not Too Sweet" project
Flutist Annie Wu presents her dessert-inspired show, “Not Too Sweet,” named after the cheeky Chinese phrase for the perfect dessert. With a narrative, autobiographical approach, Wu includes early flute favorites, movie soundtracks from her childhood, and vocal arrangements exploring nostalgia and memory combining flute and piano selections by Fauré, Sibelius, Dvorak, Hisaishi, and more, interwoven with stories of childhood, nostalgia, and memory. Wu’s candid storytelling and unique curation asks what might be gained from a closer look at tunes made even sweeter by shadows of more complicated flavors and sounds. The “Not Too Sweet” album has over 3 million streams on Spotify.
MGS brings this special event to the newly restored Marshall Muse Gallery and presents an evening of music and stories along with drinks and a dessert tasting by Fallen Leaf Bakery for a special evening of music, visual art, storytelling, and sweet treats!
**This is a specially ticketed event and not included in the regular season.** Tickets are $35 per person for admission, dessert tasting, and beverage. Ticket Package Holders check your email for discount code!
