Paul Huang

Violinist Paul Huang has won praises for his “unfailing golden tone” (The Strad) and the Washington Post remarked his playing which “possess a big, luscious tone, spot-on intonation and a technique that makes the most punishing string phrases feel as natural as breathing.” Recipient of a 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant and a 2017 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, Mr. Huang’s recent appearances include the Rotterdam Philharmonic with Lahav Shani, BBC Symphony with Marie Jacquot, Dallas and NHK Symphonies with Fabio Luisi, Detroit Symphony with Leonard Slatkin, Baltimore Symphony and Seoul Philharmonic with Markus Stenz, San Francisco Symphony with Mei-Ann Chen, and Houston Symphony with Andrés Orozco-Estrada. In the 2025–26 season, he makes Finnish debut with Tampere Philharmonic, Phion Orchestra in the Netherlands, Naples and Rochester Philharmonics, records with London Philharmonic, and returns to Rotterdam Philharmonic, Vancouver, Pacific, North Carolina, Colorado Symphonies, and National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. He recently stepped in for Anne-Sophie Mutter at the Bravo! Vail Music Festival, playing Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4 with Chamber Orchestra Vienna-Berlin, and made recital debuts at the Lucerne and Aspen Music Festivals, all to critical acclaim. In fall 2021, he also became the first classical violinist to perform his own arrangement of the US national anthem for the opening game of the NFL at the Bank of America Stadium to an audience of 75,000. Winner of the 2011 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, Huang earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the Juilliard School.
