Jasmine Lin, described by The New York Times as an “unusually individualistic player” with “electrifying assertiveness” and “virtuosic abandon,” has appeared as soloist with orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, Illinois Philharmonic, Singapore Symphony, Symphony Orchestra of Brazil, Symphony Orchestra of Uruguay, Evergreen Symphony of Taiwan, and National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. As a chamber musician, Ms. Lin has participated in the Marlboro Music Festival and Steans Institute for Young Artists at Ravinia, and has toured internationally as part of the Chicago String Quartet, Overseas Musicians, and Taiwan Connection Music Festival. On the faculty at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts, she is also an adjunct faculty member at Northwestern University and DePaul and was on faculty at the Taos School of Music in New Mexico. Ms. Lin is a founding member of the Formosa Quartet, which won first prize in the 10th London International String Quartet Competition.
