Violinist Lucia Lin enjoys a multifaceted career performing as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral player throughout the United States and internationally. Her expansive creative footprint also includes dedicated teaching as well as innovative, interdisciplinary collaborations across the visual and performing arts. Ms. Lin made her debut at age eleven with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, performing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, going on to win prizes at numerous prestigious competitions, including the International Tchaikovsky Competition. She has been described by the Indianapolis Star as a soloist of “virtuosity and insight” whose playing is “passionate and graceful.” Solo highlights include appearances with orchestras across Europe and a recital debut at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall.

At age 22, Ms. Lin won a position with the Boston Symphony Orchestra before spending two years as concertmaster of the London Symphony Orchestra. As concertmaster of the LSO, she spearheaded numerous high-profile recordings and international tours throughout Japan, Italy, Scotland, and Spain. In 1995 she returned to the BSO, subsequently expanding her artistic focus toward chamber music. She co-founded the Boston Trio and, in 1998, joined the Muir String Quartet. whose rigorous educational mission helped foster her own passion for mentorship. She currently serves as a Professor of Music at Boston University’s College of Fine Arts.

Driven by a lifelong desire to connect creative mediums, Ms. Lin’s penchant for unique projects led to her acclaimed 2007 collaboration with the dance company Snappy Dance Theater for the world premiere of String Beings. Seamlessly integrating live violin performance with demanding dance choreography and technology, her performance at Boston’s Wimberley Theater earned praise from Dance Magazine for proving she was “as fearless and fine a dancer as musician.” Continuing her deep commitment to expanding the classical canon, she also founded “In Tandem,” a nonprofit initiative that commissioned ten emerging composers to bring vital new voices to the concert stage.
