"Pianist Zhiye Lin, who studies with
Richard Goode at the Peabody Institute, provided much expressive interest,
especially in the slow movement and good dynamic control throughout. In Ravel’s
Gaspard de la nuit Lin exerted expert control, thoroughly muscular, even
magnificent. No less shivering was Le gibet, I’ve never heard a more convincing
live performance than this one. I hope to hear more of this remarkable,
thoroughly confident young pianist." -Mark
DeVoto, Boston Music Intelligencer

Hailed
by the Boston Musical Intelligence as a pianist who “breezed through
the most technically difficult bits with impressive panache”,
Zhiye Lin
is classical pianist who is increasingly being heard in important
concert halls. He has performed in many major concert halls in the
world, including the Kennedy Center, Ningbo Concert Hall, Shanghai
Symphony Orchestra Hall, and Shanghai Oriental Art Center. He was
the laureate of piano competitions in Tokyo, Spain, West Virginia,
New York, Singapore, and Hawaii. He also appeared as soloist with
Mercury Orchestra, West Virginia University Symphony Orchestra, and
Hawaii Symphony Orchestra under the batons of Channing Yu, Mitchell
Arnold, and Joseph Stepec.
Although his father was an audiophile, Zhiye was the first musician
in his family. He was attracted to music when he attended a concert
for the first time, and his passion for music from that time drove
him to the present day. After a few years of studying, he moved to
Shanghai, which is 700 miles away from his hometown in the southern
part of China, to further study music. Zhiye enrolled in the
prestigious Music Middle school affiliated to Shanghai Conservatory
of Music.
Known for his performance of solo master pieces, he also actively
engages with chamber music. The Dawn Trio, which he founded in 2010,
was awarded the second prize of the Chamber Music Competition of the
Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Since then, he and his groups had
been coached by well-known musicians, including Joseph Lin, Jerome
Lowenthal, Peter Salaff, and Joel Smirnoff.
Zhiye also interested in Historical Music performance. he joined the
Baroque Youth Orchestra of Shanghai Conservatory of Music as a basso
continuo player and gave performances in He Luding Hall and Shanghai
Symphony Orchestra Hall.
Born in China, Zhiye Lin has a great passion for Chinese traditional
culture, including poetry, painting, and calligraphy. Also, he is
fascinated with traditional Chinese cooking, especially his hometown
style cuisine. Even though he has tried his best to reproduce
Teochew cuisine in his own kitchen, he still missed his grandma’s
cooking during his studies in the US.
He earned his Bachelor of Music at the Cleveland Institute of Music
and his Master of Music degree at the Juilliard School under the
tutelage of Hae-Sun Paik and Hung-Kuan Chen. Currently, he is
completing the Artist Diploma at the Peabody Institute under Richard
Goode's guidance.
