He made his New York recital debut at Merkin Hall and his Washington, D.C. debut at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater. Recital and chamber highlights include The Morgan Library & Museum, Caramoor, Bay Chamber Concerts, Tippet Rise Art Center, and the Jupiter Chamber Players. In addition to traditional repertoire, Lun explores theatrical and interdisciplinary approaches through recital projects Death and Conception and A Long

Walk Through the Night. In March 2025, he collaborated with Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Du Yun on Morning Mist, Night Thunder at the Asia Society.

Upcoming recitals include Charleston Chamber Music Society, The Brooks Center at Clemson University, and Arts Council of Moore County.
