Marcus Hu (b.2002) has pursued composition studies under the honourable tutorage of Lauri Kilpiö (2021-2024) at University of the Arts Helsinki. In his earlier years, Marcus has received an extensive musical education in his native Australia. He attended the music- specialist Conservatorium High School in Sydney (2017-2020) and has received consistent composition training under Richard Gill (2014-2018) and Jack Symonds (2017-2020). Marcus now studies as an Erasmus+ student at Kunstuniversität Graz under Franck Bedrossian, hoping to absorb new perspectives into his musical practices.

In his studies, he has actively participated in masterclasses with Marco Momi, Elena Mendoza, Lucas Fagin, Marco Stroppa, Salvatore Sciarrino and Chaya Czernowin. In addition, he has collaborated with dedicated musicians such as Éric-Maria Couturier, Giovanna Sevi, Mikko Raasakka, Matteo Cesari and Paolo Ravaglia, Mdi Ensemble, MotoContrario Ensemble, Avanti! Chamber Orchestra, Zagros Ensemble, and Quartetto Prometeo.

In creating a work, Marcus pursues a goal of achieving flexible and unrestrained lyricism, with an intense ethereality that echoes the stimulating excesses produced by our post-digital world.
