Biography

Loewi Lin, originally from Taiwan, moved to Alberta, Canada in 1990 at the age of seven. He started studying the cello at age 11 and in 2001, he performed the Dvorak Cello Concerto in B minor with the Calgary Youth Orchestra after winning First prize in the Frank Simpson Concerto Competition. The following year, he was accepted into the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied with Richard Aaron for three years. During this period he was accepted into the Taos School of Music, where he was one of 20 musicians chosen to study chamber music intensively during the summer year in Taos, New Mexico with the Chicago and Brentano Quartets and Robert MacDonald.

After returning to Canada to study with Paul Marleyn at the University of Ottawa, he won the Concerto Competition not only in 2005 but also in 2006, earning him the opportunity to play the Elgar Cello Concerto in E minor and Shostakovich Cello Concerto in E-flat major with the University of Ottawa Orchestra. He was also selected to attend the New York String Seminar of 2004 and 2005, where he played in Carnegie Hall under the direction of Jaime Laredo and received chamber music coachings from members of the Emerson Quartet, Isidore Cohen, Michael Tree and Sharon Robinson. In the summer of 2005, Loewi attended the Beethoven Institute at Mannes College where he worked with Jacob Lateiner, Colin Carr, and Timothy Eddy. That same summer he also attended the Audubon String Quartet Seminar.

In 2005, Loewi was invited to perform both of the Sextets of Johannes Brahms at the Agassiz Music Festival with Jonathan Crow and Paul Marleyn. Most recently, he received 3rd prize in the 2006 Eckhardt-Gramatté National String Competition.

Loewi’s hobbies include sports, reading and eating. He is currently pursuing his Master’s degree at the New England Conservatory with Laurence Lesser.
