The violinist Joseph Lin has earned broad recognition for his mature artistry. He was awarded First Prize at the Concert Artists Guild International Competition in 1996 at the age of seventeen, and was named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts the same year. In 1999 he became the youngest musician ever to receive the Pro Musicis International Award. In 2000 he won one of the top prizes at the Hanover International Violin Competition, and the following year he won First Prize at the inaugural Michael Hill World Violin Competition in New Zealand.

An active concerto soloist, Joseph Lin has appeared with the Santa Fe Symphony, New Japan Philharmonic, Sapporo Symphony, Taiwan National Symphony, Kiev Chamber Orchestra, Moravian Philharmonic, and the Auckland Philharmonic.
