Originally from Rancho Cucamonga, California, pianist Kevin Gordon Hou has performed internationally in the Czech Republic, Israel, Italy, the United States, and Canada. His competition awards include:

• 2nd prize at the Siena Piano Competition 2023 at Villa Scacciapensieri

• Grand Prix at the 2022 Oxana Yablonskaya Institute Piano Competition in Eilat, Israel

• Finalist at the 2022 "14 Ways to Dubai" American International Piano Festival and Competition in Washington DC

• Grand Prix at the 4th International World Music Competition

He has also participated in festivals such as the Tel-Hai International Piano Masters, the Todi Music Masters, and others. Kevin Hou is particularly interested in promoting little-performed and neglected repertoire, including Medtner's "Night Wind" Sonata Op. 25 No. 2, as well as transcriptions of Rachmaninoff songs by Earl Wild and Arcadi Volodos.

Kevin studied film, literature, and political science at UC San Diego, and recently earned his master's degree in piano performance with Paul Stewart at the University of Montreal. He has studied with Oxana Yablonskaya, Eduardo Delgado, Leonid Levitsky, and David Butler Cannata.
