Faculty
Hsing-ay Hsu
Steinway Artist Hsing-ay Hsu (“Sing-I Shoo”) is focused on the art of listening. As an international prizewinner, concert producer, teacher/educator, studio owner, and adjudicator, she joyfully demonstrates how to use music as a catalyst to build multidimensional awareness and to make sense of the human experience.
Since her stage debut at age 4, Ms. Hsu has been performing at such venues as Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center (NYC), and in Europe & Asia. Her thoughtful interpretations and “explosions of energy” (NY Times) have won her the Juilliard William Petschek Debut Award, William Kapell International Competition Silver Medal, Ima Hogg National First Prize, Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship, Gilmore Young Artist Award, and the US Presidential Scholar of the Arts Award from President Clinton.
Owner of the Nutmeg Studio NYC, a retreat for lifelong learners, Ms. Hsu has developed several unique online courses to infuse creativity into the process of mastering traditional concepts – the next one is “Styles: Combining Elements to Define Your Voice” this March. Approaching playing the piano as a combination of energies as well as a planned choreography, her unique integration of leading with listening and multiple modes of learning produces incredible results in advancing artistry and technical mastery. She serves on the summer faculties of Kaufman Center NY, Chautauqua Institution NY, and has been teaching at the Rocky Ridge Adult Piano Seminar in CO since 2016.
Ms. Hsu is currently the Artist-in-Residence at Klavierhaus NYC, where she promotes public awareness of the value of listening well. She was formerly Artistic Director for Pendulum New Music at the University of Colorado – Boulder, where she has supervised over 500 student and professional premieres, and hosted national and international residencies. She has been guest faculty at several universities and guest speaker for various organizations including a MTNA national convention. She shares her multidimensional insights with Conscious ListeningTM Café webinars and courses to help audiences connect mind, body, and heart through music.
Ms. Hsu loves to expand her teaching modalities, and regularly interviewing experts from different walks of life to explore musical analogies on her YouTube channel “HsingayHsu”. Born in Beijing, Ms. Hsu trained at Juilliard, Yale University, Aspen, Ravinia, Aldeburgh, and Tanglewood Festivals. She is married to composer Daniel Kellogg, who is president of Young Concert Artists (NYC), and they have one daughter. Ms.Hsu is a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow, a 2024-5 Public Voices Fellow of The OpEd Project, and a regular contributor at Psychology Today.
