Mr. Lin\u2019s performances have garnered excellent reviews by critics in New York and Boston.

Recent appearances by Mr. Lin have included the World Saxophone Congress, North American Saxophone Alliance, Selmer Showroom (Paris), Steinway Hall (NYC), New England Saxophone Symposium, Texas Tech University International Saxophone Artists Series, U.S. Navy Band International Saxophone Symposium, Saxorama Festival (Canada), Fromm Players of Harvard University, and the Formosa Chamber Music Society of New York. He has presented master classes across the U.S. and internationally, including the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP), Manuel Castillo Conservatory of Seville (Spain), Vienna Conservatory, National Taipei University for the Arts, Mahidol University (Thailand), as well as the Shenyang, Sichuan and Central (Beijing) Conservatories in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Lin\u2019s recording of Lei Liang\u2019s Memories of Xiaoxiang for Alto Saxophone & Tape<\/em> (Mode Records) was selected among \u201cAmazon.com: Best 20th<\/sup>\/21st<\/sup> Century Classical of 2009,\u201d and his recording of David Liptak\u2019s Serenade for Alto Saxophone & String Orchestra<\/em>, which John Pitcher of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle<\/em> called \u201cbrilliantly recorded,\u201d is available on Bridge Records.  His recording of Liang\u2019s Xiaoxiang Concerto<\/em> with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project was also named a Pulitzer Prize Finalist in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Lin is currently Associate Professor of Saxophone at the Eastman School of Music, where members of his studio have been frequent prizewinners at some of the most prestigious competitions internationally.  He is the founding director of the Eastman Saxophone Project (ESP), as well as the recipient of the 2012-2013 Eisenhart Award for Excellence in Teaching.  Mr. Lin is an artist and clinician for Selmer and Vandoren companies, and performs exclusively on these products.
