Bamboo flute virtuoso / Improviser / Lin's Culture Arts Director

​

Lin Hsiao-Feng, a Taiwanese musician celebrated for his avant-garde style, is a virtuoso of woodwind instruments, particularly the bamboo flute. Over the past decade, he has frequently collaborated with artists around the world to produce unique mini concerts that integrate music with poetry, calligraphy, dance, and martial arts. Blending traditional Chinese music with contemporary improvisation, Lin has consistently captivated and delighted audiences both at home and on the international stage.

​

Recognized as a rising star in New Taipei City’s music scene since 2017, Lin has relentlessly pushed the boundaries of musical expression. His notable concerts, such as Forgetting JiangHu – Lin Hsiao-Feng’s Flute Concert (2017) and The Realm of Sound and Shadow – Experimental Flute Music Expansion Project (2021), the latter supported by a National Arts Association grant, have cemented his reputation as a visionary artist. He has also developed his own instrument line, the Wu-Wei Chinese Bamboo Flute Series, which embodies the elegance and simplicity of oriental aesthetics.

​

Lin is frequently invited to perform at multidisciplinary concerts in Taiwan, including Contemporary × Traditional - Uchihashi Kazuhisa and Taiwanese Musicians (2019) organized by the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, Sounds of the Wilderness (2020) hosted by National Taiwan University, and Taipei Nuit Blanche (2022). 

​

Driven by his interest in cross-cultural collaboration and innovation, Lin’s global presence has grown steadily. In 2022, Lin launched the Flute Music Frontiers project, featuring a series of cultural exchange concerts and workshops across Turkey, Malaysia and Singapore. He was also invited by Bahçeşehir University (BAU) Music Academy and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) to share his extensive musical knowledge and distinctive artistic perspectives with students. Recent highlights of Lin’s international performances include Following the Silk Road in Istanbul, Falling into dreams at the Jeongju International Sori Festival, and an appearance on Hunan Satellite TV’s Ride the Wind 2023, where he showcased the nose flute in the song Thousand of Miles (千里萬里) alongside renowned artists A-Lin, Joie Qu (瞿穎), and Wu Yu (吳優).

​

Lin was honored with the '2024 World Flutist of the Year' and 'Best Asian Recording' by the World Flute Society for his album Cadenza21, which also earned nominations at the Golden Melody Awards for Traditional Arts and Music (GMATAM), Grammy Awards, and World Entertainment Awards. He proudly represented Taiwan at the Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad, joining other distinguished artists to showcase its rich artistic heritage.
