The Lee Trio is an award-winning piano trio praised for “bringing courage to the melody, flair for the virtuosity, and depth to the music” [Leipziger Volkszeitung] in its performances across the globe. The Trio’s awards include the Recording Prize at the Kuhmo International Chamber Music Competition in Finland, Second Prize in the G. Zinetti International Chamber Music Competition in Italy and the Gotthard-Schierse-Stifting grant in Berlin for rising international artists. In addition to performing, the Trio devotes time to teaching and giving master classes, most recently with BRAVO Youth Orchestras and the University of Utah School of Music. The Lee Trio has given premieres of piano trios by composers including Nathaniel Stookey, Uljas Pulkkis, Laurence Rosenthal, Julian Yu, Sylvie Bodorova and Philip Lasser. Their recording of Jane Antonia Cornish’s Duende was released on Delos in 2014 to critical acclaim. This coming season, the Trio will premiere a new work by Jerry Bilik and make its first tour to Romania.

ABOUT WEDNESDAY NOON CONCERTS
The community is invited to our complimentary Winter Season of Wednesday Noon Concerts. As part of our ongoing mission to use the transformative power of the arts to inspire and enrich our community, we have opened our doors for the past two years, every Wednesday at Noon, and presented concerts performed by talented musicians that are free of charge to the public. These free noon performances offer listeners the opportunity to discover the beauty of music in an intimate accessible setting, while providing the community with cultural enrichment and exposure to talented performers.
Concerts are in a one-hour format and most performances take place in the intimate Tivoli where both audience and musicians can sit in vibrant, close proximity. Musicians often stay after the performance to informally speak about the program and their upcoming concerts.
