Lauded by Cleveland Classical as "an excellent soloist, a compelling performer who is equally comfortable handling long strings of notes... and singing through emotive melodies with her instrument," Dr. Tan Qin Ying was recently appointed keyboard faculty at Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music. Recent performances include appearances with Red Dot Baroque, Apollo's Fire, Piano Cleveland, City Music, ORMACO Inc., the Performing Arts Series at the Cleveland Museum of Art, SEA Music Academy, and Affekt, which Tan co-directs. Tan has been performing with City Music since 2019.

A firm believer of story-telling through music, Tan draws from a diverse pool of influences such as baroque French court dance, Indonesian gamelan music, Chinese guzheng practice, as well as community song and dance. Dr. Tan currently serves as music director at Forest Hills Presbyterian Church in Cleveland Heights and co-directs the Resonance Masters' Series near Seattle.

When not at work, Ying loves exploring and hiking around beautiful Cleveland. She also welcomes conversations about culture, history, or how music can help to inspire change and to bring communities together.
