Violinist Cho-Liang Lin

Violinist Cho-Liang Lin—Musical America’s 2000 Instrumentalist of the Year—is lauded the world over for the eloquence of his playing and for superb musicianship. In a concert career spanning more than 30 years, he is equally at home with orchestra, in recital, playing chamber music, and in the teaching studio. An avid chamber musician, he’s made recurring appearances at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Aspen Music Festival, and the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. He also serves as artistic director of the Hong Kong International Chamber Music Festival. As director of La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest from 2001 to 2018, Lin developed the program into a multidisciplinary festival featuring dance, jazz, and new music.  Lin’s CMS program features works by Foss, Dvorák, and Tchaikovsky. “Cho-Liang Lin has an enviable reputation on record not only for his dazzling technique and flawless intonation but his instinctive artistry… His perfect intonation and tonal purity excite admiration.”—Gramophone
