Tiffany Ng is a “virtuoso” (HKSNA) in command of a range of expression from “eerie sonance” (Diapason) to “jumpy athleticism” (Chicago Classical Review), She is Associate Professor of Carillon at the University of Michigan and chair of the Organ Department. 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 (see CarillonWomen.org), and pioneered models for interactive “crowdsourced” and environmental-data-driven carillon performances. Her album Dark Matters on the innova label has been hailed by critics as "ravishingly beautiful" (New York Music Daily) and a "revelation...by turns soulful and dancelike" (The WholeNote). Ng holds a doctorate in musicology and new media from the University of California, Berkeley, 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.
