Pianist Paula Fan has performed as soloist and chamber musician on five continents. As one of the first recipients of the doctorate in the art of Accompanying, she has been in great demand as pianist/coach for numerous internationally recognized artists and has lectured on the subject at educational institutions worldwide. Since the early 1980s, Dr. Fan's interest in her heritage has lead her to China, where she joined members of Beijing's Central Philharmonic in the first concert of Western chamber music presented since the Cultural Revolution, and as the first accompanist-coach to be invited by the Chinese Ministry of Culture, organized and accompanied the first evening of art song heard in decades.

With her husband and sonata partner, the late John Denman, Dr. Fan has recorded most of the masterworks of the clarinet repertoire. In addition, she has recorded a number of the solo piano works of Dussek in new editions based on early printed sources, the result of research in libraries in London and Paris. She has broadcast regularly for the BBC, National Public Radio, Radio Television China, Australian radio and other international stations. Currently, Dr. Fan is pianist with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra and Regents' Professor at the University of Arizona School of Music.
