旅美鋼琴家陳偉茵活躍於國際樂壇，除了高超的演奏技巧外，晶透的音樂性及成熟度是她脫穎而出的最佳優勢，她的演奏天賦總能精準地掌握樂曲的核心，她細膩的音樂性獲得國際級大師如 Leon Fleisher、鋼琴家如Richard Goode、Claude Frank 等人的讚譽。陳偉茵是一位「思考」型的鋼琴家，她總能超越樂譜上的音符把音樂提升到另一個境界。
在紐約陳偉茵甫成功演出一系列的音樂會：第一場與荷蘭阿姆斯特丹皇家管弦樂團的室內樂團 (Camerata RCO)演出莫札特與孟德爾頌的協奏曲；第二場音樂會與著名的Miró Quartet演出布拉姆斯的室內樂曲；壓軸則是陳偉茵個人獨奏會，該場獨奏會並首演當代作曲家Marc Neikrug為陳偉茵所譜的《日月潭》鋼琴曲。
陳偉茵在美國及歐洲均有發行專輯，個人首張專輯《G調日記》在美國發行，該專輯收錄舒伯特與舒曼的鋼琴奏鳴曲，是她個人才華的最佳詮釋。美國知名古典音樂雜誌 Fanfare 資深樂評Jerry Dubins 盛讚陳偉茵演奏的舒伯特奏鳴曲是「我所聽過的錄音中最令人驚歎的…」另外，陳偉茵與荷蘭阿姆斯特丹皇家管弦樂團室內樂團(Camerata RCO) 所錄製的莫札特與孟德爾頌室內樂專輯，樂評家 James Forrest 讚譽「…如此年輕的音樂家，她所展現出的內涵深度反映她的天份，她的錄音完全可以和年輕時期的阿格麗希相媲美…」

“A thoughtful, lyrical, and accomplished artist…The hallmarks of Ms. Chen’s performance were the singing quality of her sound and her attentiveness to inner voices and harmonic shadings… I was captivated by the breadth and warmth of the Mozart playing… " – Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times
“A stunning young pianist... Her keyboard touch proved consistently firm, meticulously balanced and tastefully assertive, and her sense of phrasing lucidly energetic…” – Kenneth Herman, San Diego Arts
“The interpretation was capricious and always executed with good taste and clarity..., Ms. Chen's interpretation elicit the applause from the audience who gave her an enthusiastic standing ovation." – La Prensa
“Glowing and warm. Weiyin Chen brilliantly interprets Austrian composer’s piano concertos. It takes a modern performer of truly superior skill to fully realize every nuance of one of Mozart’s final piano concertos.” – James Keller, Bangkok Post
In a time of promising young virtuosos from all over the world, the Taiwanese-American pianist Weiyin Chen stands out not just for her dazzling technique, but above all for the sheer musicality and maturity of her playing, qualities rare in an artist of her young years. Her gift for getting to the musical “heart” of the scores she plays has drawn the attention and praise of such master musicians as the renowned conductor-pianist Leon Fleisher and pianists Richard Goode and Claude Frank, all of whom she studied with extensively, among a legion of other notable figures. Ms. Chen is a “thinking pianist” who has a rare ability to look beyond the notes on the page to divine a score’s musical essence.
In New York City, Ms. Chen was heard in a stunning three-part concert series with distinguished guests. The first concert, she was joined by Camerata RCO (ensemble of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam) for a performance of Mozart and Mendelssohn Concerti. In the second concert, Ms. Chen collaborated with the exceptional Miró Quartet in an all Brahms program. The series concluded with a solo piano recital, featuring the world premiere of American composer Marc Neikrug’s work Sun Moon Lake.
Ms. Chen released 2 albums in USA and Europe respectively. Her debut solo CD Diary in G, which includes Schubert’s Sonata No. 18 in G major and Schumann’s Piano Sonata No. 2 in G minor, is a testament to her superb talents as an interpreter. The longtime critic Jerry Dubins of Fanfare wrote in his glowing review, “ I can honestly say that no other performance and recording of this Sonata I’ve heard has won me over as this one has….” Her other recording with the Camerata RCO features Mozart Piano Concerto in A major K.414 and Mendelssohn Concerto in D minor for Piano, Violin and Strings. Critic James Forrest praised her playing in the disc review “…the amount of insight she brings to this music, so early in her career, speaks volumes for the inherent gifts with which she has endowed…Chen’s youth can entirely equal the playing of Argerich recorded with an additional quarter-century of years and experience behind her. Gutman Records has a winner here.”
Ms. Chen’s upcoming season includes engagements in Europe with Musicians of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and debut in Palermo Sicily; in USA with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and in Asia with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra. Recent highlights include debut with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra under the direction of maestro Eliahu Inbal, in Milan with I Solisti di Milano Classica with her debut interview and an all Schubert recording for the Amadeus magazine in Italy followed by her first recital tour in the Netherlands, performances at Carnegie Hall in New York, solo piano recitals in Italy and concerto engagement at the New Year Music Festival in Gstaad Switzerland, under the artistic direction of Princess Caroline Murat and the patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. She has performed as soloist with most of the major orchestras in Asia, include the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom she made her debut under Maestro Edo de Waart, Brahms First Piano Concerto with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Leon Fleisher, the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra in a Royal Celebration Concert honoring the 86th Birthday of His Majesty the King of Thailand, the China National Symphony Orchestra, Taiwan Philharmonic NSO; Orquesta Sinfonica Ciudad de Gijon in Spain, Adrian Symphony Orchestra and Kalamazoo Philharmonia in USA, concert tour with Camerata RCO–members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in the Netherlands.
Recitals have taken her to France, Holland, Italy, Denmark, Peru, Panama, India, Taipei, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Utah and Chicago.
Ms. Chen has performed in such festivals as La Jolla Summerfest, Verbier Festival & Academy, Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Festival Paesaggi Musicali Toscani, Shanghai International Music Festival, Chelsea Music Festival, Sarasota Music Festival, and the Banff Center, collaborating with such instrumentalists as violinists Cho-Liang Lin, Ilya Gringolts, Chee-Yun Kim, David Chan, Alina Pogostkina, violists Paul Neubauer, David Aaron Carpenter and Cynthia Phelps, and cellist Gary Hoffman.
Born into a medical family, Ms. Chen advocates charity work combining the healing power of music and medicine. She has led global humanitarian campaigns, most recently in India and Peru with her father, a world-renowned surgeon Dr. Hung-Chi Chen. In India, she taught and performed under the auspices of the Mehli Mehta Foundation in Mumbai, where the ticket sale of the concert was donated to the surgical mission conducted by Dr. Chen. He and his team has since performed more than 100 surgeries free of cost to the underprivileged and children in need who would not otherwise have access to such treatment. In Peru, her charity concert at the Gran Teatro Nacional marked their first campaign in Lima, benefiting the Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza. The collaboration of their joined forces continue to create beautiful stories worldwide.
Ms. Chen’s musical education has included The Juilliard School and studies with Leon Fleisher at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, and private study with Richard Goode and Claude Frank.
