Role in the Community (deepen-x 2026-09-14, corpus-absorbed)
- 2015/04 — 明州「台灣之愛:鄉愁與四季」室內樂音樂會 (Roseville Lutheran Church, Minnesota). 梁沁茵 was one of three pianists (with 王騰寬 and 黃馨儀) among the 15 Taiwanese and American musicians in the concert organized by 台灣線上圖書館 (TOliB, www.tolib.org), music director 鄭光生. The program opened with works by the late 蕭泰然 as a memorial; 林璇雯 and 劉德強 led the string sections and 陳怡名 played viola/violin. About 350 attendees heard the concert, whose stated aim was to honor the Taiwanese American journey — “不忘本,並在新家園展望未來與服務社區”. Reported by 陳曼玲, archived at [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys128|TAH ourjourneys #128 (台美人顧台灣 19)]].
- This places her US performance activity in the Taiwanese American community circuit (Minnesota, 2015), alongside the TAH 317 press-kit profile already on this page.
Source Notes
- Re-pass 2026-10-10 (deepen-x 10090700-3): corpus grep across works/articles/sources/events/topics found only ourjourneys128 + TAH 317, all already absorbed and linked in the 2026-09-14 pass. No new corpus material; verification_status held at pending.
- Deepen pass 2026-09-14: the timeline above is synthesized solely from the page’s own TAH tables and the cited TAH #156 / #317 records (no web used); both vault copies are bibliographic stubs.
- No vault pages exist for the music magnet school, Univ. of Minnesota, IU Jacobs School, Dr. Paul Shaw, Prof. Evelyne Brancart, or either scholarship, so no further wikilinks were added; university TSA/association pages exist but her membership is not stated in the sources, so they are not linked.
