Hilda Huang, Piano

Biography

Pianist Hilda Huang achieves power, grace, and “philosophical depths” (West-Allgemeine Zeitung) in her interpretations of the music of J.S. Bach and more recently, L.V. Beethoven. By the age of 18 she earned the singular distinction of being awarded the first and highest prizes at all of the world’s most significant Bach competitions, and has since played Bach in recital at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, BASF Ludwigshafen, and both the Leipzig and Montréal Bach Festivals as part of the Steinway Prizewinners’ Concert Network.

In the 2019-2020 season, she will present Bach’s Italian Concerto BWV 971 and the French Overture BWV 831 at the International Holland Music Sessions, the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts Series and at St. Martin-in-the-Fields. She will soon record these pieces for Orpheus Classical.

In addition to special projects, Huang presents annual recitals under the auspices of Thürmer Pianos at venues in Bochum and Meißen in Germany and San Francisco Noontime Recitals at Old St. Mary’s Church. She will moreover return as soloist with the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra in the 2020-2021 season, after having appeared as their Debut Artist in 2011.

Hilda Huang studies with Melvin Chen at the Yale School of Music in pursuit of a Master of Musical Arts, and has received instruction from Bernd Goetzke, John McCarthy, and András Schiff. She is a 2013 Presidential Scholar in the Arts and a 2019 Paul and Daisy Soros Fellow. www.hildahuang.com
