First Prize Winner of the 2003 Walter W. Naumburg Foundation's Violin Competition and the 2000 Hannover International Violin Competition, Frank Huang has now embarked on a major career as a violin virtuoso. At the age of eleven Huang performed with the Houston Symphony Orchestra in a nationally broadcast concert and has since performed with orchestras throughout the world, including the Cleveland Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony, NDR-Radio Philharmonic Orchestra of Hanover, Amadeus Chamber Orchestra and the Genoa Orchestra. He has performed on NPR's Performance Today, Good Morning America and CNN's American Morning with Paula Zahn. Mr. Huang's first commercial recording, comprised of Fantasies by Schubert, Ernst, Schoenberg, and Waxman was released on Naxos in the fall of 2003.

Huang has had great success in competitions since the age of fifteen with awards in the Premio Paganini International Violin Competition and the Indianapolis International Violin Competition. He received Gold Medal Awards in the Kingsville International Competition, the Irving M. Klein International Competition and the D'Angelo International Competition.

In addition to his solo career Huang is deeply committed to chamber music. He has attended the Marlboro Music Festival, Ravinia's Steans Institute and the Caramoor Festival, and has collaborated with the Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra and the Sejong Soloists in New York. He was recently selected by the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society to perform regularly at Alice Tully Hall as part of the highly prestigious CMS II program.

Frank Huang studied with Robert Mann at the Juilliard School, Donald Weilerstein at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and with Fredell Lack.
