age of 15 and was enrolled in the class of Ms. Dorothy DeLay, Itzhak Perlman's
teacher, at The Juilliard School immediately following his audition. Today,
he is a member of the Juilliard faculty and resides in New York City.
Mr. Lin has performed with orchestras in France, Sweden, Spain, Japan, Taiwan and many more. He is an advocate for contemporary composers. He has premiered concertos by Tan Dun, Joel Hoffman, Christopher Rouse, Elie Siegmeister, Bright Sheng, George Tsontakis and George Walker.
