This 2024-25 season, Huang returns to perform with the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan, Residentie Orkest Den Haag, Hiroshima Symphony, San Diego Symphony Tucson Symphony, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, and Knoxville Symphony, and makes his London debut at the Barbican Hall with BBC Symphony and Marie Jacquot as well as with Oregon, Indianapolis, and Toledo Symphonies.
