THE ARTIST
Frank Huang is a Steinway Artist, concert pianist, recording artist, and Associate Professor of Piano at Miami University. His performances have taken him to major venues throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, including Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London.
His artistic work is characterized by a particular interest in bringing both familiar and overlooked repertoire to audiences. His programming often places works within broader cultural, historical, and personal narratives, creating connections between composers, ideas, and listeners.
As a recording artist, Huang is currently undertaking a nine-disc project to record the complete solo piano works of Nikolai Medtner for Centaur Records. The project reflects his longstanding commitment to bringing greater attention to music that deserves to be heard and reconsidered.

EDUCATOR
Since 2013, Dr. Frank Huang has served as Associate Professor of Piano at Miami University (Oxford, OH). His teaching centers on helping students develop efficient technique, purposeful practice habits, and a deeper understanding of music, so that technique becomes a means of expression rather than an end in itself. His goal is to cultivate independent musicians who think critically, listen deeply, and develop their own artistic voices.
