ROGER WU FU

Roger Wu Fu is a Taiwanese conductor, teacher, and wind musician, born and raised in Santiago, Chile. With years of teaching experience from elementary students to college students, Roger is passionate about illuminating the importance of music’s role in the classroom, in the concert hall, and in the world at large.

Recent works include music directing chamber operas in a series of works titled “Hope and Despair”, slated to premiere at the Baltimore Theatre Project, music directing and producing a grant-funded original musical entitled “Yappie: The Musical” in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University, and “Musical Picture Whimsies: A Celebration of Art Through Music”, a series of compositions inspired by and accompanying original paintings by Baltimore artists. As a graduate student in wind conducting at Peabody Institute, Roger has been involved as a conductor, performer, teaching assistant and faculty substitute.

Drawing from his own varied background studying anthropology for a BA at the University of California, Los Angeles, and an MM in Wind Conducting from Peabody Institute with Dr. Harlan D. Parker, Roger seeks to combine a high standard of musical performance with a rigorous and curious academic approach, to create and foster musical experiences for all audiences.
