Marianne Huang Yueyin is a graduate from the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) where she studied the piano with Graham Scott, Head of Keyboard Studies, having previously done her undergraduate studies at the Royal College of Music (RCM) with Leon McCawley and Gordon Fergus-Thompson. She is grateful for the support of scholarships during her time in both colleges, including the Margaret Allen Piano Award (RNCM) and William Mealings Scholarship (RCM).

Marianne is an avid performer and keen chamber musician. A memorable experience was performing Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances, Op. 45, together with the RNCM Concert Orchestra, conducted by Sir Mark Elder in 2022. In collaboration with several singers, she performed several times on the fortepiano as part of the Smallwood Masterclass Series, conducted by David Owen Norris. For the year 2023-24, she was selected to be a member of the RNCM Songsters, receiving more performance opportunities – including a pre-concert performance at the Stoller Hall before tenor Mark Padmore’s recital, as part of the Manchester Song Festival.

 

She has performed multiple times at the Emmanuel Church, Didsbury; Holy Innocents Church; and also at the Victoria Concert Hall atrium in Singapore in 2023. Other performances include a solo recital at the King’s Hall, Ilkley, as part of the Ilkley concert series; two recitals with a fellow cellist and flautist at Christ Church Southport; and the Manchester debut of Anthony Burgess’ own song cycle at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in respect of 30 years of his passing.
