許芳瑛與蔡弘霖在奧地利維也納留學期間,除鑽研鋼琴獨奏外,並開始接觸與鋼琴相關的室內樂。因緣巧合下,當兩個熱愛鋼琴的人,以鋼琴二重奏(鋼琴四手聯彈/雙鋼琴)的演出獲得好評之際,也開啟日後合作的契機。再者,由於兩人的指導教授Walter Fleischmann及Peter Efler,年輕時曾先後於奧地利國立維也納音樂院(即現在的國立維也納音樂暨表演藝術大學) 師事「維也納古典演奏樂派大師」Richard Hauser,因此可謂師出同樂派。兩人不僅對音樂理念的認知ㄧ致,演奏上亦展現絕佳的契合,更源於對鋼琴二重奏的熱愛,因而攜手合組「聆音室內樂團」,期望與愛樂者一起分享,鋼琴二重奏的樂音之美。

聆音鋼琴二重奏 Lin-Ing Piano Duo
Apart from studying the technique and style of playing the Piano in Vienna, Ms. SHEU Fang-Ing and Mr. TSAI Hung-Lin also enjoyed performing chamber music during their time there. Perhaps because their tutors, Prof. Walter Fleischmann and Prof. Peter Efler were guided by the Vienna Piano Maestro Prof. Richard Hauser, Sheu and Tsai have each found their interpretation of classical music match together very closely. After their original success performing piano four-Hands and duo, Sheu and Tsai have since decided to cooperate over the long-term and have founded the Lin-Ing Chamber music Group. Their aim is to promote the beauty of the Piano Chamber Music for the broader public.
