Today we’d like to introduce you to Tingting Wu
Hi Tingting, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story
As the founder of the ColorMusic project, I envisioned a way to help modern audiences connect with their emotions and imagination through music. ColorMusic began in 2019 as a seed of an idea inspired by my fascination with the connection between emotions and colors. I realized that both music and colors evoke powerful feelings, and I asked myself: What if I could combine the emotions I feel in music with the transformative power of colors? This idea grew into a mission to create concerts that immerse audiences in a multisensory experience, allowing them to reflect, imagine, and feel something deeply personal.

What matters most to you?
What matters most to me is people—their well-being, their inspiration, and their ability to believe in themselves. I want people to feel motivated and empowered to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. That’s why I pour my heart into creating ColorMusic, striving to make it as brilliant and impactful as possible.
Through ColorMusic, I want to show that entertainment doesn’t have to involve drugs, smoking, excessive alcohol, or other unhealthy habits. There are healthier, more meaningful ways to connect with ourselves and the world around us. Music and art have an incredible power to heal, inspire, and uplift. I want my work to remind people that joy and creativity come from within their own hearts and minds—they just need to trust and believe in themselves.

Frost Symphony Orchestra conductor and professor Maestro Gerard Schwarz had the idea to pair the music with images of contemporary art. Frost School of Music Dean Shelton G. Berg's encouragement led to a collaboration with Jill Deupi, director and chief curator of the University of Miami's Lowe Art Museum. The project was presented live at Miami's Adrienne Arsht Center during the 2021 Miami Art Week and recorded at the Maurice Gusman Concert Hall.
Deupi selected more than 50 artworks, as well as works from the Lowe's collection, to accompany the piece's ten movements and five promenades. The performance is 35 minutes, preceded by footage explaining the project's inspiration, with interviews and performances by Frost Symphony Orchestra and pianist Tingting Wu (D.M.A.' 23.)
