About the Album:
Merging the culinary, literary, and visual art worlds, Brooklyn-based flutist Annie Wu’s latest classical album Not Too Sweet — named after the cheeky Chinese phrase for the perfect dessert — presents flute music through a dessert- and diasporic- lens. With an autobiographical approach to her curation, including movie soundtracks from her childhood and vocal arrangements exploring nostalgia and memory, Wu brings an intimate, personal story and look to tunes made even sweeter by shadows of some more complicated flavors and sounds.

About the Show:
The live 1-hour show based on the album is an evening of storytelling and music, interwoven with stories of memory, aging, nostalgia, and resilience. The goal of the Not Too Sweet show is to entice new listeners to world of classical music with a relatable, personal touch.
Note: The video features a keyboard which was a restriction of the venue. A future iteration of the show would ideally feature a piano and script adjustments.
