Dr. Paula Fan
Pianist Paula Fan has performed on five
continents as soloist and chamber musician,
recorded over twenty commercial albums, and has
broadcast for the BBC, NPR, Radio Television
China, and international stations from Bosnia to
Australia. As one of the first recipients of the
doctorate in Collaborative Piano, she has
lectured on the subject worldwide. She has
taught at the University of Arizona as its only
Regents’ Professor from the Fine Arts, and as
Visiting Professor at the Eastman School of
Music. She performed as Principal Keyboardist
with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra for over 30
seasons.
As both performer and teacher,
one of her greatest interests has been building
bridges between classical music and audiences of
all ages and backgrounds, as well as between
disciplines. In collaboration with the Arizona
Research Institute for Solar Energy, she was
co-founder of the Solar Storytellers, a piano
trio playing electric instruments powered by a
golf cart with a solar panel for a roof, which
performed on the National Mall in Washington DC,
at the Aspen Science Center, and in Arizona. She
now serves as the first Senior Fellow at the
University of Arizona’s Confluencenter for
Creative Inquiry and continues to tour
internationally as pianist and lecturer.
