About

Renowned pianist Jenny Lin recently showcased her musical prowess in a unique setting - a Tiny Desk concert. Despite typically performing on grand stages with sizeable instruments, Lin gracefully adapted to the intimate space behind Bob Boilen's desk, playing a slim Korg electronic keyboard for the performance.

Born in Taiwan and raised in Austria and the United States, Lin's musical journey began at the age of 4. Over the years, she honed her craft studying with esteemed teachers across the globe, including notable collaborations with musicians like Richard Goode and Leon Fleisher. Her dedication to music education is evident through her role on the faculty at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

During the concert, Lin mesmerized viewers with her impeccable piano skills, showcasing a diverse repertoire that highlighted her versatility and virtuosity. From classical masterpieces to contemporary compositions, each piece she performed exuded grace and precision, captivating the audience despite the downsized setting. This Tiny Desk concert not only demonstrated Lin's adaptability and passion for sharing music but also offered a glimpse into the multifaceted talent of this world-class pianist.
