War And Peace —Fanya Lin Piano recital
Pianist ：Fanya Lin
A thunderous sound from over eight thousand kilometers away
八千多公里外的一聲巨響
Awoke the whole world
炸醒了全世界
War feels so far from us
戰爭離我們這麼遠
Yet so close.
又那麼近
The Claude Debussy Centre Musical et Artistique is honored to once again host Dr. Fan-Ya Lin, an accomplished pianist based in the United States.
Drawing from her extensive performance, pedagogical, and life experiences, she presents a series of compelling performances and events.
To Dr. Lin, the unfortunate cancellation of her 2022 Ukraine performance brought into stark relief how war is not merely a historical abstraction, but a harsh reality unfolding in our midst.
This concert, themed "War and Peace," will feature both classical and contemporary compositions that narrate the experiences of war whilst advocating for peace and harnesses music's power to provide solace and reflection. May conflicts cease, may global harmony prevail, and may every individual discover inner tranquility.

MUSICIAN
Pianist ：Fanya Lin
Described as a “striking interpreter” who gives a “committed and heartfelt performance” by Musical America and The New York Times, Steinway Artist Fanya Lin has entranced audiences worldwide with her charismatic and fiery performances. Lin’s “mesmerizing performance” of Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in UK was depicted as “a tornado had touched down through her body and lifted her, feathers fluttering, from the piano stool as she weighed into the keys.” Her orchestral appearances include the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Utah Symphony, Savannah Philharmonic, The Jackson Symphony, among others. Her concerto album Rhapsodic featuring Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with Maestro Theodore Kuchar and the Lublin Philharmonic was released by Navona Records in 2023, and selected as Textura’s "Top 20 Classical (Instrumental: Quartet/Ensemble/Orchestra)" for 2024.
An avid soloist, Fanya promotes classical music to the public by creating innovative concert programs and engages her audience by presenting interactive performances. Her solo recitals have been featured in numerous prestigious concert series, including the Schubert Club Musicians on the Rise, the Stecher and Horowitz Young Artist Series, and The Steinway Society of Western Pennsylvania. Her albums have been released by IsoMike, Summit Records, Soundset Recordings, and PARMA recordings.
As a philanthropist, Fanya has collaborated with various non-profit organizations to create access for education and promote mental health awareness through fundraising galas and salon concerts. Inspired by her mentors Dr. Yu-Jane Yang, Professor Hung-Kuan Chen, and Professor Lydia Artymiw for their dedication in education, Dr. Fanya Lin is currently serving as the Associate Professor of Practice in Piano at the University of Arizona, where she teaches applied piano lessons, chamber music, piano literature, and the Yoga for Musicians course.
