Dr. Hsu is chairman of piano instruction and professor of music history at Philadelphia Biblical University (formerly Philadelphia College of Bible.) He was born in Shanghai, China, where at age nine he began his musical studies at the Shanghai National Conservatory. He remained in China until the age of 18, when he performed the Grieg Piano Concerto with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Arrigo Foa. After earning both the bachelor of science in Bible and the bachelor of music degrees at PCB, he went on to complete his Ph.D. at the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1972. His teachers have included Mary Hsia, Virginia Brubaker, Ronald Boud, Erno Daniel, Daniel Pollack, Rosina Lhevinne, and Martin Canin.
Dr. Hsu is a board member of the Philadelphia Music Teachers Association, and has taught at Csehy Summer School of Music since 1972 (he has served at CSSM longer than any other faculty member, except for the Csehys themselves!), where he is the chair of the piano department.
