About Me

My name is Ian James Lin. I was born in the summer of 2009 and raised in the beautiful Ocean State of Rhode Island. I am a pianist, a composer, and a violinist.  And I hope to be a great conductor one day.  

At 3.5, I started studying piano and made music on the piano for fun.  Around the same time (age 6) I started to study violin, I got more serious about composing and began private composition lessons.  I currently study piano under Professor Meng-Chieh Liu, piano faculty of both Curtis and NEC, and Ms. Natalia Zhu, director of Kingston Chamber Music Festival.  I have performed at Carnegie Weill Recital Hall and BSO Concert Hall.   I became the youngest member of the RI Philharmonic Youth Symphony Orchestra (RIPYO) at age 10.  I was the concertmaster at RIPYO for the 22-23.  And I recently became a member of the Philadelphia Youth Symphony.  I love sharing my love of music with others.  I have been giving solo concerts at local nursing homes every year around the Holiday seasons and in springtime since I was 6.   I had been a member of the Rhode Island Children's Chorus for a number of years before entering high school this year.  My favorite composer is J. S. Bach!   Besides music, Ian enjoys tennis, science, chess, and speed-cubing. My best record of solving a  3*3  cube is 7 seconds.
