Lorraine Min stands out as a highly celebrated Steinway Artist and a pianist of exceptional caliber. Her extensive musical journey has taken her to concert halls across Canada, the United States, Europe, and South America. Wherever she plays, she consistently impresses audiences with her “poetic artistry and brilliant virtuosity.” Over the years, she has delivered memorable performances at some of the world’s most iconic venues, including Avery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center.
Born and raised in Canada, Min traveled to the United States for her advanced musical education. She earned her bachelor’s degree—graduating with Pi Kappa Lambda honors—from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. She then went on to successfully complete both her master’s and doctoral degrees at the prestigious Juilliard School. Off the solo stage, she shares a wonderful musical partnership with her husband, the gifted violinist Terence Tam, and the duo frequently collaborates in live performance.
Major publications have eagerly highlighted her talent over the years. The New York Times praised her “impeccable phrase-shaping and crystalline sound,” while The Washington Post commended her for her “admirable playing.”
When it comes to her instrument of choice, Min remains fiercely devoted to her pianos. Explaining her deep admiration for the craftsmanship, she noted: “Steinway’s unmistakable warmth of sound, powerful rich bass and sparkling brilliance allow me limitless musical possibilities. These unmatched qualities give me the freedom to express, create, and bring life to some of the greatest repertoire that exists for the piano. There is no other choice for me but Steinway.”
