“Tony Chen Lin is a true artist. Rarely have I encountered a finer musician who has something truly exceptional to say in music. He has a strong musical personality that speaks to audiences and possesses the technique which is expected today but also artistry which is not expected”. – Tamás Vásáry
Tony Chen Lin won the 40th New Zealand National Concerto Competition and is a multiple recipient of the Dame Malvina Major Foundation Arts Excellence Award. His 2018 debut album DIGRESSIONS, on Rattle Records, received critical acclaim while also reaching No.1 on the New Zealand Classical Chart.

He also received mentoring from Balázs Szokolay and András Kemenes at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, and has benefited immensely from the mentorship of pianist Edith Fischer.
A passionate chamber musician, Tony won first prize with duo partner Sebastian Wyss in the 2019 Weiner Leó National Chamber Music Competition in Budapest.
