Hi, my name is Jason Sheng-Chieh Lan, and I am honored to be competing in two of the world’s most prestigious viola competitions this year: the Hindemith International Viola Competition and the Concours de Genève. These events are not just milestones in my career — they are opportunities to share my music, my culture, and my story with audiences around the globe.

Here are the links to my competitions profile on the official website:

As a dedicated musician, I spend countless hours each day preparing for these performances. But the reality is that, like many artists today, I face the challenge of balancing artistic excellence with financial sustainability. Travel, accommodation, instrument care, and living expenses quickly add up, making it difficult to maintain the focus and physical condition required to perform at my highest level.

Your support will go directly toward:

Every contribution — no matter the size — brings me closer to representing not only myself, but also the viola community and the rich cultural heritage I carry.

Thank you for believing in the power of music and in the young artists who dedicate their lives to it. Together, we can make these performances possible.

From my heart to yours,

Jason Sheng-Chieh Lan
