Chin-Chao Lin Scholarship Holder of the Conductors' Forum
Taiwan-born Chin-Chao Lin, a graduate of the Zurich University of the Arts, has been awarded a scholarship by the German Conductors' Forum. The nine new talents were selected from 88 applications.
Chin-Chao Lin is a conducting student of Johannes Schlaefli at the ZHdK (Zurich University of the Arts). ZHdK conducting student Raphael Honegger also made it through to the final round. This is a great achievement for a Bachelor student in this highly competitive environment, writes the ZHdK.
From April 3 to 5, 2013, the orchestra conductors faced the vote of a five-member jury chaired by Johannes Schlaefli in Siegen. After two rounds, six candidates were accepted into the first stage of the competition: In addition to Chin-Chao Lin, Dominik Beykirch (Weimar), Mihhail Gerts (Berlin), Hermes Helfricht (Berlin), Lahav Shani (Berlin) and Gierdė Šlekytė (Dresden).
The Conductors' Forum is a project of the German Music Council. In more than 20 events per year, it offers its scholarship holders the opportunity to work with leading professional orchestras and choirs as well as experienced conductors.
