18-year-old South Korean violinist SooBeen Lee is quickly establishing an international reputation as one of the most prodigiously talented instrumentalists to emerge in recent years.
A student of Miriam Fried at the New England Conservatory, SooBeen is a former major prize winner at the Menuhin and David Oistrakh International Violin Competitions – and the Young Concert Artist International Auditions.
Her recent debuts include solo engagements with the Gwacheon Symphony Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic, the Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra, Busan Philharmonic Orchestra, Incheon Philharmonic Orchestra, Gangnam Symphony Orchestra and the KBS Symphony.
SooBeen currently performs on a 1794 Giuseppe Guadagnini violin – on generous loan from Kumho Asiana Cultural Foundation.
