A classically trained musician who moved to the U.S. at age 12, Lin defied norms by becoming the first and only musician in Juilliard's history to perform concertos on both viola and erhu, an ancient Chinese stringed instrument. His performances at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center are celebrated for their seamless blend of Eastern and Western musical traditions. Music, for Lin, transcends performance; it is a universal language fostering mutual understanding and connection across borders.
Beyond the concert stage, Lin has demonstrated remarkable leadership in various social initiatives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he founded Farm2Manhattan, a platform that successfully connected struggling farmers with city restaurants to resolve food distribution challenges. He also volunteered with Concerts in Motion, bringing live music to isolated elderly individuals. Additionally, his "NYC Housing Multiple-Choice Test" platform has provided critical housing assistance to over 16,000 international students in New York.
Lin's commitment to global citizenship extends to education and diplomacy. In 2025, he launched a music education center in Vietnam, focused on nurturing emotional intelligence, empathy, and cultural awareness in children through music. This initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and earned him the U.S. Presidential Volunteer Service Gold Award in 2023. As President of WTCC JC, Lin integrates his artistic and humanitarian principles into organizational leadership, promoting dialogue and coexistence within the global Chinese community.
"Leadership is not about displaying power; it's about carrying responsibility," states Lin. "Real change doesn't require a perfect starting point-it begins the moment you choose to believe." His diverse work underscores his belief that culture is a gentle yet powerful force that directly engages with the world, offering a new roadmap for young leaders to blend heritage with impact.
