Known for his “unfailing attractive, golden, and resonant tone” (The Strad), violinist Paul Huang received an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2015 and a Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists in 2017. The Washington Post proclaimed him “an artist with the goods for a significant career” following his recital debut at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

During the 2025/26 season, Huang’s debuts will include the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Phion Orchestra, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and Naples Philharmonic; he returns to Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and Vancouver Symphony Orchestra as well as the Pacific, Colorado, and Omaha symphonies. He will launch the fourth “Paul Huang & Friends” International Chamber Music Festival with the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan.

In 2021, Huang became the first classical violinist to perform his own arrangement of the National Anthem for the opening game of the NFL at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte to an audience of 75,000. His second album Mirrors was released worldwide in January of 2025.

Winner of the 2011 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, Huang’s other honors include First Prize at the 2009 Tibor Varga International Violin Competition, the 2009 Chi-Mei Cultural Foundation Arts Award for Taiwan’s Most Promising Young Artists, the 2013 Salon de Virtuosi Career Grant, and the 2014 Classical Recording Foundation Young Artist Award.
