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 Together with two young artists of her generation, this year she is tackling one of the pinnacles of chamber music, Beethoven's “Archduke Trio” (dedicated to his princely patron Rudolf of Austria), and this same evening she is unveiling the Gstaad Menuhin Festival's latest commission from Zurich composer Martin Wettstein.
