Chenxing Huang, an award-winning Chinese pianist, has captivated audiences across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Highlights of her recent season include a solo recital at the esteemed Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series in Chicago, which was aired on 98.7 WFMT. She was invited as the “Artist-in-Residence” and presented a solo recital at the Porto Pianofest in Portugal.  She gave solo recitals in central Paris, at the invitation of the President of the Association of Polish Artists & Musicians in France, with proceeds donated to aid refugees of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Her musical journey has taken her to renowned venues worldwide, including Carnegie Hall, Steinway Hall (NYC), Viennese Hall (Salzburg), Beijing Concert Hall, and Shanghai Oriental Arts Center.

Acclaimed for her “remarkable intensity of expression,” she has been a laureate in international competitions including the Concours Ile-de-France, Concours Musical de France, Artist Presentation Society Competition (USA), Paderewski International Competition (USA), Krystian Tkaczewski International Piano Competition (Poland), Bradshaw & Buono International Competition, and New York Piano Festival & Competition.

She holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano performance with program honors from Northwestern University, an Artist Diploma and a Master of Music degree from Yale University. She achieved the highest admission score at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where she earned her bachelor's degree. Her formative years unfolded on the beautiful South Chinese island of "Gulangyu," renowned as a "music island," where her passion for classical music took root and flourished. Her upcoming recital season promises an exciting lineup of performances in Chicago, Santa Fe, New York, France, Canada, Portugal, and China.

Chenxing is also the founder of an international endeavor, performing benefit recitals to raise funds and awareness for homeless animals. She sees this as a way to combine two of her greatest loves: music and animals.
