Not Just Another Hunt! - Music for Horn and Piano

Much sought after as an instrumental and vocal collaborative pianist, Beatrice Lin has been actively working with musicians from Singapore and abroad in numerous recitals, recordings and music festivals. Her vast experience also lies in opera, having worked extensively as rehearsal pianist for Singapore Lyric Opera and more recently with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra in their theatrical productions. Her love for chamber music led to the birth of the Incursion Trio which she co-founded in 2008. The trio recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with a concert tour to Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan.

A graduate of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, Singapore, the Royal Academy of Music, and the Haute école de Musique de Genève, her studies were generously supported by the National Arts Council and the Lee Foundation. She was also awarded the Adolphe Neuman Prize from the canton of Geneva in 2010 upon graduation. During her stay in Switzerland, she collaborated and performed with musicians and ensembles in Geneva, Lausanne, Sion and Biel. She was also invited to perform in live radio broadcasts on the Radio Suisse Romande Espace 2 as keyboardist with L’Orchestre de Chambre de Genève and Ensemble Contrechamps, and as répètiteur for the Concours de Genève.

Kartik Alan Jairamin holds a Masters of Music in Performance (Distinction) from the Royal College of Music, London. His education was generously supported by the National Arts Council Singapore, Lee Foundation and Trailblazer Foundation and was the recipient of the Michael Quinn Award from the Royal College of Music.

Jairamin is a seasoned recitalist having done numerous performances in Singapore and internationally.
