Music Salon | The Musician Fans Swear You Can’t Afford to Miss!

Renowned Chinese-American pianist Lin Yi may be most active on Western stages, but he’s no stranger to many Chinese music fans!

Years ago, when he toured China with the South Korean classical "boy band" Ensemble DITTO, the group—equally admired for their looks and talent—left a lasting impression. That’s right, Korea isn’t just famous for K-pop idols; their classical male ensemble DITTO once swept across Asia in a whirlwind of refined artistry!

To join this elite group, members had to not only possess striking visuals but also be top-tier performers—each one a graduate of prestigious music conservatories or an award-winning virtuoso who could’ve easily relied on their looks alone! Among the maestros who collaborated with them were violin legends like Kyung-wha Chung and Gidon Kremer.
