Pianist Soyeon Kate Lee returns Tuesday, Nov. 15, with the bravura of Rachmaninoff’s Corelli Variations, reflective Chopin, and ethereal music by Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw in Camerata Pacifica’s November program at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino.
First prize winner of the 2010 Naumburg International Piano Competition and the 2004 Concert Artist Guild International Competition, Korean-American pianist Soyeon Kate Lee has been lauded by the New York Times as a pianist with “a huge, richly varied sound, a lively imagination and a firm sense of style,” and by the Washington Post for her “stunning command of the keyboard.”
Lee has been rapturously received as guest soloist with the Cleveland Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, San Diego Symphony, symphony orchestras of Columbus, Bangor, Boca Raton, Wyoming, Bozeman, Cheyenne, Napa Valley, Scottsdale, Abilene, Naples, Santa Fe and Shreveport in the U.S.
An active chamber musician, she frequently collaborates in many chamber music festivals and has been a member of the coveted Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society Two program, where her performance of the Mozart Piano Trio was broadcast on PBS Live from Lincoln Center.
Lee is the co-founder and artistic director of Music by the Glass, a concert series dedicated to bringing together young professionals in New York City. A Yamaha Artist, she is an Associate Professor of Music in Piano at the Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music.
Diverse music by Irish composer and vocalist Emma O’Halloran and New York-based composer Christopher Cerrone complete an eclectic picture, as the incomparable percussionist Ji Hye Jung shows off the virtuosic voice of the concert marimba.
