The New Mozart

Eight-year old Wesley Chu is a happy little boy, but he plays serious music. He is a world-
famous pianist. He can also write music. Some people call him the “New Mozart” . Every
year he travels the world and gives concerts. Last year he was in London, Hong kong, and
Rome. “It’s fun,” he says.

Wesley was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where he still lives with his parents and his
two sisters. He goes to school five days a week and practices piano for two hours a day.
Wesley could play the piano when he was three years old. He could write music before he
could write the alphabet. He wrote his first piece of music when he was five.

Wesley isn’t exactly like Mozart. He doesn’t just play the piano and write music. He also
likes watching TV, playing video games, and playing with Legos. He says, “I want to be
lots of things – an astronaut, a scientist, a cartoonist, and… a pianist, of course!”
