Ruoyu Huang

⎯ China

Ruoyu Huang is a piano faculty member at the Central Conservatory of Music. He pursued his Bachelor of Music degree at The Curtis Institute of Music in the United States and later earned both his Master of Music and Artist Diploma from The Juilliard School. The pinnacle of his education was studying under Maestro Sergei Babayan. In 2021, he released his recording album titled The Piano Art of Russian School, the first CD in China to be released with a focus on the Russian piano school, as it is centered around the thematic approach to this style.

With an artistic approach inspired by the musical styles of late 19th and early 20th-century Golden Age artists like Rachmaninoff, Cortot, Hoffman, Rosenthal, and Horowitz, Mr. Huang is noted for his authentic interpretation and colorful, imaginative performances. In 2022, he released another album titled Exploration of Piano Art in the Romantic Golden Age. In this CD, he deliberately interprets several works through a performance style and aesthetic that fully embraces the golden age, challenging contemporary piano performance norms. The album investigates the concept of respecting the original compositions versus their underlying spirit.

Huang has been invited to perform at prestigious venues such as the Mariinsky Theater, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, Jordan Hall in Boston, and the China National Theater. He has also performed with the Mariinsky Orchestra, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra in the U.S., and several major orchestras in China. In 2018, he represented China as an artist, performing in Kazakhstan, Latvia, and Russia as part of the One Belt One Road initiative.

Besides his work as a pianist, Ruoyu Huang is also a composer with over 80 art songs that blend classical and Chinese pop music styles. He studied composition under Eric Sessler and Noam Sivan at The Curtis Institute of Music. In 2023, he released his album Serious Crossover, featuring his compositions. His works have also been featured on China Central Television.
