Mr Huang Naiwei

Huang Naiwei is one of the most promising pianists in Hong Kong. His improvisational playing was highly praised by renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who described him as an “impressive talent.” The legendary Chinese piano maestro Liu Shikun also commended him as one of the few pianists today who can improvise across various musical styles. Huang has performed solo concerts and delivered masterclasses throughout Asia and Europe. He has collaborated with orchestras such as the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra, and the Hong Kong City Chamber Orchestra, as well as with conductors like Tan Dun, Leung Kin-fung, and Zhangzhen. He was also invited to perform at festivals including the Mozart 260th Anniversary series, Shanghai Spring International Music Festival, Shenzhen International Piano Festival and Art Basel. Additionally, he has served as a judge in various competitions. He now works as a teacher and external examiner at several institutions, as well as a council member of the Greater Bay Area Art Education Association.
