Jung Lin, Piano

Biography

Pianist Jung Lin has been acclaimed for her poetic and virtuosic pianism. A native of Taiwan, she has won numerous competitions in her native country. At sixteen her symphonic poem, "The Black Wedding", was given its premiere by the Juilliard Symphony under Miguel Harth-Bedoya. While at Juilliard, Ms. Lin studied composition with the renowned American composer David Diamond, and, for six years, piano with the eminent pianist Martin Canin.

Ms. Lin has given numerous all-Chopin recitals, including during the 150th anniversary of Chopin's death, when she was heard at such prestigious venues as the International Keyboard Institute and Festival at the Mannes College of Music, the Summit Festival, in China, and the Kosciuszko Polish Foundation. In 1999, she was featured at New York's Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center in the Gala Chopin recital which included 25 world renowned pianists. In addition to Chopin, Jung Lin is an avid champion of Nicolai Medtner and her repertoire of the Russian composer is extensive.

During 2004 Ms. Lin was invited by radio station WQXR to perform three recitals at the New York Botanical Garden, playing to capacity audiences and worldwide on wqxr.com. In 2004 she was also heard as guest soloist with the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. A high point of 2004 was a December recital debut at New York City's Alice Tully Hall.

Recent performances in New York include at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, broadcast live on New York Times' radio station WQXR, and at the Medtner Festival at Bargemusic where she collaborated in the American premiere of the posthumous Quintet for piano and strings. In December 2005, she presented another solo recital at Alice Tully Hall, which included Rachmaninoff's Six Moments Musicaux.

She returned to Amsterdam in May of this year, where her performance on the Concertgebouw's Sunday chamber music series was broadcast live throughout Holland. Other important venues this season were recitals at the National Philharmonic Hall Series in Maryland, the Noon Recital Series at Rockefeller University, the Cervantes Institute's live broadcast series of Spanish piano music, and the prestigious Aspen Ideas Festival. This month, Ms. Lin returns to the Nantucket Musical Arts Society and then travels to Brazil performing the Rachmaninoff Second Concerto with Joao Carlos Martins conducting.

Late in 2007 Naxos will release Jung Lin in two all-Medtner CDs which include the first complete recording of the Russian composer's 38 Tales. Ms. Lin lives in New York City.
