Fanya Lin

Described as a “striking interpreter” who gives a “committed and heartfelt performance”
by Musical America and The New York Times, pianist Fanya Lin has entranced audiences
worldwide with her charismatic and fiery performances. Lin’s “mesmerizing
performance” of Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in UK was depicted
as “a tornado had touched down through her body and lifted her, feathers fluttering, from
the piano stool as she weighed into the keys.” Her orchestral appearances include the
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Utah Symphony, Savannah Philharmonic, The Jackson
Symphony, among others. Her concerto album Rhapsodic featuring Gershwin’s
Rhapsody in Blue and Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with Maestro
Theodore Kuchar and the Lublin Philharmonic was released by Navona Records and
distributed by Naxos in November 2023.
An avid soloist, Fanya promotes classical music to the public by creating innovative
concert programs and engages her audience by presenting interactive performances. Her
solo recitals have been featured in numerous prestigious concert series, including the
Schubert Club Musicians on the Rise, the Stecher and Horowitz Young Artist Series, and
The Steinway Society of Western Pennsylvania. Her albums have been released by
IsoMike, Summit Records, Soundset Recordings, and PARMA recordings.
As a philanthropist, Fanya has collaborated with various non-profit organizations to
create access for education and promote mental health awareness through fundraising
galas and salon concerts. Inspired by her mentors Dr. Yu-Jane Yang, Professor Hung-
Kuan Chen, and Professor Lydia Artymiw for their dedication in education, Dr. Fanya
Lin is currently serving as the Associate Professor of Practice in Piano at the University
of Arizona, where she teaches applied piano lessons, chamber music, piano literature, and
the Yoga for Musicians course.
