A recipient of a 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant, violinist Sean Lee has performed as soloist with orchestras including the San Francisco Symphony, Israel Camerata Jerusalem, and Orchestra del Teatro Carlo Felice. As a season artist at CMS and an alum of the Bowers Program, he continues to perform regularly at Lincoln Center and on tour. 

Originally from Los Angeles, Lee studied with Robert Lipsett of the Colburn Conservatory and legendary violinist Ruggiero Ricci before moving at age 17 to study at the Juilliard School with his longtime mentor, violinist Itzhak Perlman. 

Lee performs on violins made by Samuel Zygmuntowicz in 1995 and David Bague in 1999, with bows made circa 1890 by Joseph Arthur Vigneron and circa 1910 by W. E. Hill & Sons.
