Voted one of the top eight musicians in the world by the Web Concert Hall International Competition in 2003, Helen Lin's professional engagements have ranged from performing as a full-scholarship recipient at the Tanglewood Music Festival (where she was selected to join the final concert with the outstanding world musicians to perform Schumann's A Minor Piano Quintet), Tchaikovsky Music Festival, and Wagner Music Festival, to touring as a recitalist, concerto soloist, and chamber musician in Germany, France, Austria, Russia, Italy, Spain, the United States, Japan, Korea, and her native country, Taiwan.

Some of Lin's recent concerts have included the privilege of performing on the Steinway & Sons "Rhapsody" piano (a specially designed art-case piano in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of George Gershwin); two solo concerts sponsored by Mercedes-Benz in 2006 and 2007; concerts at San Agelo State Museum, TX and master class at San Agelo State University where she performed with Dr. John Irish; a private concert for the Consulate General of Austria and the honor of performing for The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, while he received the Union League of Philadelphia's Gold Medal Award in 2008; and invitation to perform a solo concert and teach a master class at Wesley College, Delaware in 2009.

Lin's performance has been described as "charismatic, contagious, of the highest level from which she communicates the essence of music combined with her vivid imagination and outstanding pianism...." "...unique as she exhibits great individuality, command, and unusually strong musical conviction with fiery temperament."
