Wu earned a Master of Music degree at The Juilliard School under Yoheved Kaplinsky, and in 2009, she received an Artist Diploma under the guidance of Joseph Kalichstein and Robert McDonald.

Praised in The Wall Street Journal as a "most mature and sensitive pianist" [3] In Washington, D.C., she was hailed for her "fire and authority";[4] in Philadelphia, for her "charisma, steely technique and keen musical intelligence"; and in San Francisco, where the San Francisco Classical Voice critic wrote, "what distinguishes Di Wu from her contemporaries is the level of musical maturity she possesses, her exacting attention to details, and the way she opens her vision of the world to the audience.

[5] In 2011, Wu impressed critics in a performance in Seattle, as a late substitute for ailing pianist Michael Brown.

In "Une Barque sur l'océan," she achieved a texturally intricate meshing of lines to recall some of those fabled Vladimir Horowitz performances that one felt could only have been the product of at least three hands.

Lambent tone, quicksilver finger-work, expert pedal control and eloquent phrasing came together to make this as fine a reading of the piece as I can remember hearing, and then, in "Alborada del gracioso," Wu added propulsive rhythms and some stunning repeated-note execution to the already dazzling mix.
