17 year old Korean wunderkind SooBeen Lee is quickly establishing an international reputation as one of the most prodigiously talented instrumentalists to emerge in recent years.
Dubbed ‘the little wizard’, SooBeen was awarded 2nd prize in the Junior Division of the 2012 Menuhin Competition, 1st prize at the 2013 Oistrakh International Violin Competition – and 1st prize at the 2015 Young Concert Artists International Auditions.
A student of Miriam Fried at the New England Conservatory, 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.
She currently performs on a 1794 Giuseppe Guadagnini violin – on generous loan from Kumho Asiana Cultural Foundation.
