For the first time today I listened with great enjoyment to violinist Richard Lin as he played the music of Paganini. He played with outstanding technical ability and also with great style that was totally sensitive and musical.
28-year-old Taiwanese-American violinist Richard Lin is building an international reputation as one of the new generation’s most promising and gifted young concert soloists.
A graduate of the Juilliard School and the Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with Lewis Kaplan and Aaron Rosand, Richard is former major prize winner at the Wieniawski, Shanghai, Michael Hill, Singapore, Hannover and Sendai International Violin Competitions.
His recent debuts include solo performances with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, NDR Radiophilharmonie, Indianapolis Symphony, Shanghai Symphony, Poznan Philharmonic, Polish Baltic Philharmonic, Nova Vista Symphony Orchestra, Taiwan Philharmonic, National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, Taipei Symphony Orchestra, Munich Chamber Orchestra and the Amadeus Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra.
Richard currently performs on the 1683 “ex-Gingold” Stradivarius violin on loan from the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis.
