She has been described bythe New York Times and in other reviews as having "great impact, not only with her exceptional virtuosity, but also with her ability to capture the intent of the composer” and a "great sense of style-emotional strength-impressive quality in performance..." An energetic and passionate performer, Dr. Lin has played before enthusiastic audiences around the world. Dr. Lin made her Carnegie Weill Recital Hall debut as the winner of the East and West Young Artist Auditions. She has soloed with orchestras such as the Atlanta Symphony, Chicago Civic Orchestra, Singapore Symphony, and Des Moines Symphony. Her appearances in New York, Boston, Chicago, England, Canada, and throughout the Far East have featured Dr. Lin's unique mix of music by Chinese and Western composers. Her virtuosity is showcased in the CD, "Portraits ofChina." Chiu-Ling Lin has collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Marina Piccinini, Marcos Granados, and Ignat Solzhenitsyn. Chiu-Ling Lin is a resident of West Windsor, New Jersey.
