In 1974, at the age of eight years old, she immigrated to Canada where she was raised from then on in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Hui's college education began at the University of British Columbia, where she earned her undergraduate degree in piano performance.

For her graduate studies, Hui pursued and earned both her master's and doctoral degrees in composition from the California Institute of the Arts and Yale University, respectively.

Mentors to Hui during her collegiate studies in composition are noted as Jacob Druckman, Mel Powell, Martin Bresnick, Earl Kim, and Morton Subotnick.

1991

Among some of Hui's few larger-scale choral pieces are San Rocco (1991), Night on Earth (2001), and the more recent Pax (2019), all of which include non-vocal instrumental parts in addition to the foundational SATB parts in their scoring.

1992

Notable orchestral works include Between You (1992), Common Ground (1993), and Aljira (1995) commissioned by the Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Oregon Symphonies, respectively.

1993

As the name of the latter work implies, this piece is set to the words of a handful of Sandra Cisneros’ poems, including “Loose Woman”, which, in an effort to evoke a bold sense of femininity, Hui set to music inspired by a burlesque dance scene from the Broadway musical, “Sweet Charity”.
