Vera Lin

Founder and President

My name is Vera Lin and I am the founder of Music Connect. I played the piano for nine years, but my primary instrument is the violin. I started playing in the second grade, and since then I got the chance to play in the Sting Repertory Orchestra, Junior Repertory Orchestra, and Youth Repertory Orchestra at NEC, and the MMEA Eastern Junior Districts Orchestra. Additionally, I was invited to play at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In my free time, I like to read and do Taekwondo.
