Alan Woo will perform an exciting program of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and works of Chopin including his Rondo in E-flat Major. No reservations are required, and there is no admission charge, but donations are welcomed for this music series.

Praised by The New York Times as a pianist with “assurance and vitality,” Woo made his Lincoln Center debut at 19, performing at Alice Tully Hall with the Juilliard Orchestra under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin. He has collaborated with conductors Daniel Hege, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, and Tito Muñoz in solo appearances with the Houston and Fort Worth Symphonies, and the Music Academy of the West Festival Orchestra. Other recent performances include solo recital engagements throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Europe.

Woo has been featured on The McGraw Hill Financial Young Artists Showcase broadcasted on WQXR in New York, and has performed in venues such as Carnegie’s Weill and Zankel Recital Halls. An avid chamber musician, he has made appearances at the Brooklyn Chamber Music Society, La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest, Gamper Festival of Contemporary Music, Bowdoin International Music Festival, and Juilliard’s ChamberFest. Other accolades include prizes at the High Point University, Ima Hogg, Iowa and Juilliard’s Gina Bachauer piano competitions.

Born in Arlington, Virginia, Woo has Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music from the Juilliard School where he studied with Robert McDonald, and a Doctoral of Musical Arts degree from Peabody Institute where he studied with Yong Hi Moon. A member of the faculty at the University of Georgia Hugh Hodgson School of Music since late 2021, previously he held positions at Elizabeth City State University and Peabody Institute.

29jun6:00 pm7:00 pmSaltwater Science Speaker Series: Boat Stories

Event Details

Commercial fishing has deep cultural ties to the Georgia coast, particularly the shrimping industry, which is the state’s largest and most economically valuable fishery. Shrimping has played an integral role in shaping the identities of the commercial fishermen who have spent most of their lives on the water. At the heart of these identities are the fishing boats that have carried captains and their crew for decades.

Learn about a collaborative project between Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant’s Associate Director of Extension Bryan Fluech and Georgia Southern University’s Jennifer Sweeney Tooks to record the stories and experiences of local shrimpers and their boats. These recordings powerfully preserve the voice and culture of commercial fishing for current and future generations, while also creating a database of knowledge that can be used to guide science and regulatory decisions.

This program is offered as part of Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant’s Saltwater Science Speaker Series at the UGA Aquarium. The series highlights impactful work by faculty and collaborators who are studying coastal issues and working with coastal communities.

Cost: $10. Registration is required for the event and includes admission to the UGA Aquarium.

Tybee Pirate Fest is fun for pirates of all ages. Our littlest pirates enjoy an entire area devoted to quality family entertainment. Children also enjoy participating in our costume contests and pirate parade. Check back for a detailed schedule or subscribe to our blog for details.

When: October 5-8, 2023
Where: South Beach Parking Lot
More Info: tybeepiratefest.com

A Brief History
Tybee Pirate Fest began in 2005 with a small handful of individuals that were looking for a unique event to help boost visitation to the island in the off-season months. The first year was even more successful than the organizers, a non-profit called Tybeefest, even imagined it could be. With the support of many dedicated volunteers, The City of Tybee Island and its elected officials, the Tybee Island Tourism Council, and local businesses the event has grown in popularity each year.

There are lots of activities for families, loads of entertainment and a Thieves Market filled with treasure. The festival grounds have grown to encompass the entire South Beach Parking Lot by the Tybee Pier from Tybrisa Street to 18th Street. This website provides the history of the event and lots of other pirate stuff. Hope you find it useful and it helps you find your way to the Annual Pirate Fest on Tybee Island located only 20 minutes from Savannah GA historic district and the cobblestone River Street.
