Born in Indiana in 1990, Christel Lee grew up in Canada. Following studies at the Juilliard School with Naoko Tanaka and Kyung-Wha Chung, she joined Ana Chumachenco’s class at the Kronberg Academy in 2012. Following her remarkable debut in the “jeunes Etoiles” series, she has been a participant in the “Menuhin’s Heritage Artists” project since 2017. This year she is performing in the series dedicated to Brahms, presenting the fourth and second-to-last concerts featuring all of the compositions that the composer wrote while staying on the shores of Lake Thun. The icing on the cake: the music will be put into perspective with readings of the correspondence that Brahms and his dear Clara Schumann exchanged during this time.
