Evan Chin:
Co-President Evan Chin started playing cello in 2014 with Michelle Kwon. He has participated in Music For You benefit concerts & senior home visits since 2017, becoming Publicity Co-Chair in 2019 and Co-President in 2022. From 2018, he was a member of the California Youth Symphony, joining their Senior Orchestra in 2019. Also in 2019, he attended the Philadelphia International Music Festival's Solo Performance program. To him, music is a deep, intimate connection between everything it touches, listeners or musicians but also their cultures and peoples. In light of this, and with inspiration from Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project, Evan founded Music For You's "Harmonize the World" benefit concert series in 2022, to spread understanding between groups through musical exchange. He also believes in the unique inspirational power and beauty of music, which he wishes to spread through Music For You. Outside of music, he also leads another outreach organization focusing on the other universal language of humankind, mathematics. --------------------------
