As a soloist, Lee has appeared with orchestras such as the Finnish Radio Symphony, Bavarian Radio Symphony, Korean Symphony, KBS Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, Tokyo Philharmonic, and the SWR Stuttgart Radio Symphony. A multi-faceted artist, Lee is a passionate chamber musician, collaborating with leading artists of her generation. She is invited regularly to festivals across Europe, Asia, and North America. Recent highlights include the world premiere of the newly-commissioned Double Concerto for Violin and Cello by Finnish composer Kalevi Aho, which was written for her and cellist Jonathan Roozeman.

Of Korean heritage, Lee was born in Bloomington and began playing the violin at the age of five in Vancouver, Canada. She later relocated to New York City, attending the Professional Children’s School and graduating from the Juilliard School in 2011. She concluded her studies at the Kronberg Academy and at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich under the tutelage of Ana Chumachenco.

Outside of her work as a performer, Lee is deeply committed to education and outreach. She has been a professor of violin at the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe since 2024. She plays on a violin by Carlo Ferdinando Landolfi from 1770, which is generously on loan to her from a private collection.
