ABOUT Shawn Hui
Shawn Hui is currently studying at the Elder Conservatorium completing his Masters of Philosophy under the supervision of Stephen Whittington, Anna Goldsworthy, and Eleonora Sivan. His Master’s research focuses on the “Fantasy” genre in music and explores the effects of anticipation, tension, and surprise in performance.
During his undergraduate studies, Shawn was the recipient of multiple scholarships, including the Muriel Perry Scholarship and the Patrick Cecil Greenland Scholarship for Pianoforte, which greatly supported his development. He is currently supported by the Research Training Program Scholarship for his Master’s research.
Shawn is an active performer in Adelaide and has featured in several music festivals, including She Speaks, PianoLab, and the Adelaide Fringe. In 2021, he made his concerto debut with the Elder Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra, performing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1. His performance schedule expanded significantly after being selected as one of three recipients of the 2022 Recitals Australia Elder Conservatorium Fellowship. His appearances around Adelaide were recognised and praised by the Adelaide Critics Circle, and he was awarded the Emerging Artist of the Year Award in 2022.
Shawn has also found great success as acollaborative pianist in Adelaide. He was a finalist in the 2021 Geoffrey Parsons Award and the 2022 Collaborative Pianist Award, and he is currently an accompanist at the Elder Conservatorium. In 2024, Shawn became the pianist for the Adelaide Wind Orchestra and performed with them at the WASBE International Conference in Gwangju, South Korea, presenting a program composed entirely by modern Australian composers.
Outside of his studies and performances, Shawn teaches piano at Immanuel Primary School, Immanuel College, and the Elder Conservatorium’s Open Music Academy, as well as mentoring a small number of private students. In 2023, he joined Recitals Australia as a council member, with the goal of supporting fellow emerging artists in their careers.
