Jeffrey Chin is 16 years old and attends the Juilliard School as a Pre-College student of Hung-Kuan Chen and Tema Blackstone. Prior to Juilliard, he studied piano with Larry Graham and Jasmine Steadman in Denver, Colorado.
“Music is an invitation to unravel a universal mystery. Countless scores of drama and dance have enchanted and united composers, performers and audiences alike. Sixteen years ago, I responded to an invitation from classical music as a newborn infant who calmed down while listening to Baby Mozart playing on a toy mobile. Today I am responding to an invitation from the Lang Lang International Music Foundation to serve as a Young Scholar in its global music education program. What an honor and privilege this invitation represents for me! I look forward to being nurtured and inspired by the incredible Lang Lang himself (!!!) and to forming new friendships with the other talented Young Scholars in my class. It is no mystery to me that the Lang Lang International Music Foundation will stimulate my own growth as a budding performing artist. Thank you for this amazing opportunity to spark a universal passion for classical music.”
