About

Gordon Chin is among the most active composers in his native Taiwan. His compositions include numerous orchestral, choral and chamber works, five percussion quartets, as well as works for solo instruments. 
 
Formosa Seasons, dedicated to the celebrated Taiwanese-American violinist, Cho-Liang Lin, is based on a set of poems the composer wrote with the same title. These depict “the sound of the wind, the smell of the trees… the beauty of the twilight… the joyful laughter of my children ” , throughout the seasons of the year. The Double Concerto was also written for Cho-Liang Lin, and for the Taiwanese-American cellist Felix Fan, a pupil of Yo-Yo Ma and Janos Starker.
 
Cho-Liang Lin’s recordings have been critically acclaimed, winning several Grammy nominations and The Gramophone’s Record of the Year award. Gramophone recently spoke of Cho-Liang Lin in the following terms: “a superb player too little heard on disc.”
 
Both of these world première recordings were made with the generous support of the Council for Cultural Affairs, Taiwan.
