Award-winning Lee Trio consists of three virtuosic performers, educators, and sisters from San Francisco. Since their critically acclaimed debut in London’s Wigmore Hall in 2002, the Lee Trio have established themselves as one of the premier chamber ensembles on the international stage, captivating audiences worldwide with their gripping immediacy, freshness, and rich palette of tone colors.
With a unique blend of technical brilliance and emotional depth, the Lee Trio’s performances effortlessly navigate the intricacies of the classical repertoire while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music. Their passion for music and dedication to education make them not only skilled musicians, but also inspiring educators who have dedicated their lives to sharing their love of music with the world.
"It is not just their rich palette of tone colours that marks them out, but also the delicious sense of collusion that animates their ensemble playing. From the outset the players gripped the attention with the immediacy and freshness of their expression”
