Dr. Gloria Chuang won the National Young Keyboard Artist Competition of Taiwan at age 11, under the tutelage of her father and Robert Scholz. Her success led to her United States debut, soloing with the San Francisco Youth Symphony. She then received her Bachelors and Masters degrees from the Juilliard School and her Doctor of Musical Arts in piano from the University of Michigan, where she was a recipient of the Regents Scholarship. The prominent composer, Bright Sheng, sought Gloria to perform his work "Mai Sang" at the Midwest Composers Forum in Chicago; her performance was described by the Chicago Tribune as possessing "romantic splendor of sound-colors, and an impassioned outpouring of temperament."
Dr. Chuang is assistant professor of piano at Winona State University, where she teaches piano and assists in collaborative recitals. She also has been teaching regularly for Summer Music Clinic at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Some of Gloria's performance outside of Winona include Alice Tully Hall, Paul Hall, the Bruno Walter Auditorium in New York City, Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center, University of Houston, Shepherd School of Music and University of Nebraska at Kearny. She has twice been the featured artist with the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra of Minneapolis, performing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4, and the Ravel Piano Concerto in G Major. Most recently, Gloria was featured soloist with the Winona Symphony Orchestra, in a performance of Beethoven's Piano
Concerto No. 3. Aside from her performing and teaching, she has also been an adjudicator for numerous competitions and festivals, such as those of the MTNA, LAMTA, the Schubert Club, and the Missouri Southern International Piano Competition.
Gloria's mentors include Martin Canin, Nina Lelchuk, and Arthur Greene.
Her first compact disc, "My Musical Journey", was released in 1995, to high critical acclaim.
