By age 15, Annie Wu had already appeared at Carnegie Hall and was the youngest First Prize winner in the National Flute Association’s history. The Pleasanton native performs Mozart’s only flute concerto to open the season, preceded by the resurrection of Pulitzer Prize winner Kevin Puts’ Network, “a short, explosive fanfare” as described by the composer himself. The formidable Symphony No. 2 by Rachmaninoff —used recently in the 2014 film Birdman—rounds out this larger-than-life opening night program.
