Musical Theater
I’m a pianist, music director, and composer specializing in theater music. As a pianist, I currently work on several Broadway shows including Hamilton and Cats. As a composer, I’m a member of the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Advanced Workshop.
Software
When I’m not at the keyboard or writing music, I can often be found at the computer keyboard writing code. I currently work as a software developer for Amazon.com. Between my musical projects and my day job, I don’t have much time for side projects right now, but would eventually love to build software that directly benefits the musical theater community. Please contact me if you have any ideas!
Design
I recently designed a new logo and website for Unity Stage. Check it out!
Here is a sampling of my previous design work. Click on a thumbnail to view the image fullscreen.
About
Hi! I am a pianist, theater music director, composer, and software developer based in New York City. Welcome to my website, which is and always will be under construction, just as I am and always will be a work in progress. :-)
I am a graduate of Bard College and Conservatory of Music, class of 2010, where I received a B.M. in Piano Performance, and a B.A. in Computer Science and Mathematics.
What’s a Wee Aldrich?
I was born Gan Wui Ming, following the Chinese convention where the last name appears first. After moving to the United States, I went by Wui-Ming Gan and later Ming Gan. When I married my wife, we both hyphenated our last names. Today, as a naturalized citizen of the USA, I have legally changed my name to Ming Aldrich-Gan, which is the name I use both professionally and socially.
