Frank Huang, first-prize winner of the 2003 Naumburg Foundation's Violin Competition and the 2000 Hannover International Violin Competition, is well on his way toward a major career as a violin virtuoso. This accomplished young artist has occupied the competition winner's circle consistently since the age of 15. At 11, he 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 Hannover, Amadeus Chamber Orchestra and the Genoa Orchestra.
Huang, a deeply committed chamber musician, has attended the Marlboro Music Festival, Ravinia's Steans Institute and the Caramoor Festival. He recently was selected by the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society to perform regularly at Alice Tully Hall as part of the highly prestigious CMS II program. Huang studied with Robert Mann at The Juilliard School, Donald Weilerstein at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and with Fredell Lack.

His program for the Celebrity Series will include sonatas by Tartini, Prokofiev, Ysaÿe, and Ravel.
