Aiyun Huang enjoys a musical life as soloist, chamber musician, researcher, teacher and producer. Globally recognized since winning the 2002 First Prize and Audience Prize of the Geneva International Music Competition. She is a champion of existing repertoire and a prominent voice in the collaborative creation of new works. Huang has commissioned and premiered over two hundred works in her three decades as a soloist, chamber musician and producer.
The Globe and Mail critic Robert Everett-Green describes Huang’s playing as “engrossing to hear and to watch” and her choice of repertoire as capable of “renovating our habits of listening.” Her past highlights include performances with St. Lawrence String Quartet, L’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Taipei Symphony Orchestra and San Diego Symphony Orchestra. She has appeared in international festivals and venues including the Victoria Hall in Geneva, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra’s Green Umbrella Series, LACMA Concert Series, Holland Festival, Agora Festival in Paris, Banff Arts Festival, 7éme Biennale d’Art Contemporaine de Lyon, Vancouver New Music Festival, CBC Radio, La Jolla Summerfest, Scotia Festival, Montreal New Music Festival, Cervantino Festival in Mexico, and the National Concert Hall and Theater in Taipei. Her recent premieres include works by Shih-Hui Chen, Kuei-Ju Lin, Mari Kimura, Carlos Sanchez Guttierrez, Pall Ragnar Palsson, Jesse Jones, Zosha DiCastri, Philippe Leroux, David Bithell, Nicole Lizée, George Lewis, Chris Mercer, Kotoka Suzuki, Sandeep Bhagwati, and Eliot Britton.
Beyond her acclaimed body of creative work, Huang’s research focuses on the multidisciplinary exploration into the performing body in media technology, theatre, dance and music using percussion as the central voice. She has published in the Cambridge Companion to Percussion, Contemporary Music Review, Frontiers in Psychology, Journal of Motor Behavior, International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expressions, Percussive Notes, Intersections, and CIRCUIT. She has released two DVDs Saving Percussion Theatre and Memory in Motion: Percussion in Surround and one documentary Drumming in Magic Time featuring the performance practice of Steve Reich’s Drumming. She directs the Technology and Performance Integration Research (TaPIR) Lab at the University of Toronto.
Besides her performance career and creative outputs, Aiyun pursues a wide array of activities to integrate performance and research, and to support emerging artists and peers internationally. In 2015, Aiyun led the inaugural edition of Transplanted Roots: Percussion Research Symposium gathering international performers and scholars from four continents to discuss and reflect on the current state of contemporary percussion. Transplanted Roots takes place on a different continent every other year with 2017 in Brisbane (Australia), 2019 in Guanajuato (Mexico) and 2022 in San Diego (USA). In 2019, Aiyun served as the Grand Jury for the Geneva International Music Competition. In 2018, Aiyun was the keynote speaker to Multidisciplinary Conference at the University of Toronto. In 2017, she hosted PASIC Focus Day and was the conference director for Illuminations: Brian Cherney at 75 at McGill University, Montreal. In 2016, Aiyun was the keynote speaker for Australian Percussion Gathering where she met over 400 percussionists from across Australia.
Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Aiyun holds a DMA degree from UC San Diego. Between 2006 and 2017, she led the percussion program at McGill University and held the position of William Dawson Scholar. She currently holds the position of Professor of Music at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto where she heads the percussion area and directs the University of Toronto Percussion Ensemble.
