Cellist An-Lin Bardin has appeared multiple times as a soloist with the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra and the San Francisco Chamber Players, and was an award winner from the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She has performed as a chamber musician throughout the US, and in Italy, France, Germany, and Australia. As a pedagogue, Ms. Bardin served as an assistant to the Takács Quartet at the University of Colorado, as well as teaching privately in New York and Connecticut.

Multifaceted as a cellist and intellectual, Ms. Bardin completed her undergraduate degree in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University, after which she went on to pursue her Masters Degree at the Yale School of Music as a student of Aldo Parisot. There, she was a member of the Grammy Award-winning Yale Cellos under the direction of Parisot. Other teachers include András Fejér of the Takács Quartet, and Irene Sharp, with whom she began her musical studies at the age of 8.

An-Lin still maintains her interest in Geology and science in general, and remains fascinated by the parallels of the thought processes linking the two disciplines, and the basic structure and symmetry underpinning both nature and music.
