At her 1982 Carnegie Recital Hall debut, Lynn Rice-See was reviewed by the New York Times critic Edward Rothstein as “an intriguing pianist…Miss Rice had something to say and said it well.” She has appeared as recitalist, concerto soloist, and chamber musician in the United States, Asia, and Europe including three times with the Janácek Philharmonic Orchestra in Ostrava, Czech Republic. In the United States she has appeared as soloist with the Gulf Coast Symphony, the Huntsville Symphony, the Johnson City Symphony, and the Kingsport Symphony.

She has been a member of the Tennessee Arts Commission touring roster.

In celebration of the Tennessee bicentennial Rice-See and mezzo-soprano Sharon Mabry issued a compact disk on the Heartdance label of works by Tennessee composers. Her new cd, “Evocacion” will be available from Americus Records in fall 2007. This recording includes European piano works from the twenty years prior to World War I.
