Faculty Spotlight
In this issue, we are pleased to spotlight our Professor of Piano/Piano Accompanist Dr. Hui-Ting Yang. As an active performer, Dr. Yang gave the world premiere of Clifton Callender’s Point and Line to Plane for piano solo, composed for her as part of the Festival of New Music at The Florida State University. She has also performed this selection at national conferences of the College Music Society and Society of Composers, Inc. Her recording of this work has been published in the online journal Musical Perspectives. Her performance of Ladislav Kubík’s Portrait for piano and two percussionists at “The Days of Contemporary Music” festival in Prague was broadcast on Czech Radio, and a recording of the performance will be released by Arco Diva in 2010. With Emily Hanna Crane, she has recorded Ju-Hwan Yu’s Sonata for Violin and Piano and has premiered Metamorphoses II by Clifton Callender, which was commissioned by the Florida State Music Teachers Association in June 2009. In June 2010 she will perform several solo recitals in the Czech Republic, including the music festival in Cesky Krumlov and the concert at the Antonin Dvorak Museum in Prague. Dr. Yang has also presented lecture recitals on the Taiwanese art songs of Hsiao Tyzen at several conferences, including the National Meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the National Conference of the College of Music Society, and the Southern/South Central SuperRegional Conference.
This is an exciting time for our School of Music. We invite you to visit us in person or at
