Anthony Lu, Cello
GSO Member Since 2003
Favorite GSO Memory: One of things I love about GSO is the community aspect of the orchestra that I feel with everyone, and for me a chance to play music with my hometown community. It also helped me grow immensely through my music making years.
What do you do when you're not playing in the GSO? During the day time, I work as an expo at Mosa Asian Bistro, serving food to tables. I also freelance with various orchestras whenever possible. In addition to GSO, I perform with Starkville (MS) Symphony and the Crossroads Baptist Orchestra, Sinfonietta Memphis, and many more. I was previously with the Jackson, TN Symphony for 14 years, 10 of those under Peter Shannon's direction. I also perform with various churches whenever possible, especially during the Christmas and Easter Seasons.
Hobbies and interests? I enjoy watching cooking shows, going out to eat a LOT, talking about gourmet food, going to free admission concerts in person and virtually, listening to music, and my own playing of my solo cello rendition of Bach Toccata and Fugue in d minor BWV 565!
