Taiwanese-American Pianist DAVID LIN is an active soloist, teacher, and collaborator. Performing across the U.S., China, and Europe, Lin champions underrepresented composers alongside the great classical works. He received the Leonard Hokanson Chamber Music Scholarship and Artistic Excellence Fellowship from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music as a student from 2024-2026. During his undergraduate years, Lin discovered a passion for teaching. Since their founding in 2022, he joined Bravo Music Academy as a private instructor, and finds great satisfaction in mentoring the next generation of students as he prepares them for seasonal recitals, theory exams, and competitions.
An advocate for raising the accessibility of live music, Lin has served as an officer for the Chamber Music Club at University of Washington during his undergraduate years, providing the opportunity for non-music majors to connect, rehearse, and perform in front of audiences. Recently, as a part of the Muffin Music M2 Fellowship, he participated in a series of free performances in the Santa Ynez Valley, bringing live music to venues such as local assisted living homes and community centers. Other recent performances include Mozart’s Piano Concerto in E-flat major, K. 271 with Quartet Daedalus at the Quanzhou Grand Theater, a marathon of Schubert’s late piano works in Auer Hall, and the world premiere of Brady Wolff’s Evoke Stardust for solo piano, recorded at the Georgina Joshi Recording Studio for publication by Abundant Silence.
As a collaborator, Lin has significant experience playing with string players, singers, and wind players. He is regularly invited to the Polish Home Association in Seattle, WA alongside colleagues to perform chamber music written by Slavic composers, and collaborates with Bellevue Youth Choirs.
Lin also has extensive experience as a ballet pianist. He is a class pianist for Pacific Northwest Ballet, having previously worked for the IU Jacobs Ballet department and Chautauqua School of Dance, collaborating with esteemed instructors Carla Körbes, Sasha Janes, and Michael Vernon among others.
