Her first large orchestral piece, Troerinnen (1986) for women's voices, was premiered by the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra in 1990. In 1991, her breakthrough work Acrostic Wordplay was premiered by the Nieuw Ensemble. Since then it has been performed in more than 20 countries in Europe, Asia and North America. Chin's collaboration with the Ensemble Intercontemporain, which has led to several commissions from them, started in 1994 with Fantaisie mecanique. Since 1995, Unsuk Chin has been published exclusively by Boosey & Hawkes. In 1999, Chin began an artistic collaboration with Kent Nagano, who has since premiered six of her works.

PETRA STUMP-LINSHALM - AUSTRIA
BORN 14 JULY
Petra Stump-Linshalm studied clarinet at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and bass clarinet at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. As a bearer of various prizes and awards - ia. BA-CA Artist of the Year 2006, 1st Prize at the Chain Concours 2001, 2nd Prize at the Concours Nicati 2011 - her particular attention is paid not only to the classical repertoire, but also to contemporary, experimental and improvised music. She is the dedicatee of numerous world premieres and has worked with important composers such as Pierluigi Billone, Chaya Czernowin, Beat Furrer, Bernhard Gander, Karlheinz Stockhausen and others. Time and again composers have composed works for Petra Stump-Linshalm and her ensembles that will enrich the clarinet literature in the long term.
The duo Stump-Linshalm has drawn with the 2005 on ein_klang records published CD born to be off-road interim review of the cooperation with contemporary composers. The pasticcio award of Radio Austria 1 honors this work. This was followed by further recordings in the duo 2006 1 + 1 = 1 at KAIROS, 2010 Short Cuts at ein_klang records and 2012 Mozart Rarities at Gramola. Petra Stump & Heinz-Peter Linshalm are publishers of the clarinet school "CLARINET UPDATE - New Music for Young Clarinetists" published by Doblinger.
The conveyance of contemporary and classical music to children in the form of concerts and workshops complements the creative field of the artist.
In 2014 she completed an extensive further education on the topic "music physiology" at the Kurt Singer Institute / University of Arts Berlin.
Her compositional work is inseparable from her activity as a performing instrumentalist. Her experiences - not only related to her own instrument - flow into the semantics of her work.
Petra Stump-Linshalm is a member of ensemble xx. century and since 2012 Senior Lecturer for Chamber Music at the Joseph Haydn Institute for Chamber Music and Special Ensembles at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
