Soobeen Lee
Recital Series Event
Recent Lauret 3rd Prize winner at the 2023 Concours Musical International de Montréal, Violinist SooBeen Lee has been praised by The Washington Post for her “poised presence, a luxurious sound, spot-on intonation, and a bow arm that will surely be the envy of her peers”. She has already appeared as a soloist with every major Korean orchestra, including the Seoul and Busan Philharmonics and KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) Symphony Orchestra.
First Prize Winner of the 2014 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, she was also honored with YCA’s Slomovic Prize for support for her Washington, DC recital debut, and the Michaels Award, which provided support for her New York recital debut.
SooBeen Lee began studying the violin at the age of four. At eight years old, she won the National Competition of the Korean Chamber Orchestra.
