The Victor Lin Trio was formed at The Red Pavilion in early 2025 as a return to the stage for pianist and violinist Dr. Victor Lin, marking his first dedicated performance project in over 20 years. A Taiwanese-American musician and a longtime advocate for AAPI representation in the arts and industry, Lin brings his decades of experience as an educator at Columbia University and the Stanford Jazz Workshop into sharp focus with this explosive new ensemble. Featuring bassist Julian Wittich and drummer Ian Wacksman—two rising stars in the NYC jazz scene—the trio is known for its electrifying energy, lightning-fast musical choreography, and cinematic reimaginings of Studio Ghibli soundtracks. A signature act at The Red Pavilion, the trio is slated to release its first EP in fall 2025.
