About
A “virtuoso” (HKSNA) in command of a range of expression from “eerie sonance” (Diapason) to “jumpy athleticism” (Chicago Classical Review), Tiffany Ng is Associate Professor of Music and University Carillonist. Her concert career spans festivals in seventeen countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America, where she has premiered over 60 acoustic and electroacoustic works, championed women composers and composers of color, and pioneered models for interactive “crowdsourced” and environmental-data-driven carillon performances. Her latest work with carillon and electronics features on her album Dark Matters (innova). She holds a doctorate in musicology from the University of California, Berkeley where she earned a Designated Emphasis in New Media, a master’s degree in organ from the Eastman School of Music, an artist diploma with great distinction from the Royal Carillon School in Belgium, and a bachelor’s degree from Yale University. Ng's campuswide awards include the Henry Russel Award for exceptional research, creativity, and teaching, and the Shirley Verrett Award for outstanding support of women of color in the arts.
