The Department of Music presents renowned percussionist Aiyun Huang in a solo recital utilizing video and live electronics. Huang enjoys a musical life as soloist, chamber musician, researcher, teacher and producer, and has been globally recognized since winning the 2002 First Prize and Audience Prize of the Geneva International Music Competition.
Huang has commissioned and premiered over two hundred works in her two decades as a soloist and chamber musician. The Globe and Mail critic Robert Everett-Green describes her playing as “engrossing to hear and to watch” and her choice of repertoire as capable of “renovating our habits of listening.” 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 is a researcher at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) in Montreal and co-directs Centre for Brain, Performance and Music Creative with Michael Thaut (neuroscience and music therapy) and Eliot Britton (music technology and composition) at the University of Toronto.
