The Philadelphia Inquirer described Chen’s viola concerto, The Desires,  as "Lyrical expressions of longing launched into a fearless sense of confession…Even where Chen includes a delicate folk-like melody, anguish was never far off." Chen's Broken Crystal, was hailed by the Indianapolis Star as a work "orchestrated with lavish self-confidence and resourcefulness" which "made a coherent whole out of its pattern of abrupt contrasts, crowned by a broad, stunningly accented 'maestoso' episode." Chen’s The Silent Flame was awarded first prize in the 2016 International Horn Society Composition Contest. 
 

Chen has been an Artist-in-Residence at the Copland House, Ucross Foundation, Ensemble 212, Concerts on the Slope, Colorado College Summer Music Festival, and Music at Angel Fire Chamber Music Festival.
