Korean pianist Sua Lee has a vision of sharing the joy and consolation of music at every performance she gives. Lee made her UK debut in January 2024 at Holywell Music Room, Oxford, playing for an audience including those who fled the war in Ukraine.
As soloist Lee also performed with the Kyiv Soloists at the Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine, Jenaer Philharmonie at Weimarhalle, and with the University Philharmonia Orchestra at Hill Auditorium as winner of the 2021 SMTD Undergraduate Concerto Competition. As the winner of other competitions, Lee performed at Sheremetev Palace (White Nights Piano Festival, Saint Petersburg), and Lincoln Center (Rosalyn Tureck Bach Competition). Her performance of the Ravel Concerto for the Left Hand won her the Third Prize among all instrumentalists at the 2025 Hellam Young Artists' Competition. Lee was a Fellow at the 2022 Gilmore Piano Festival, receiving masterclass instructions from Paul Schenly and George Li. Her other masterclass mentors include Robert Levin, Dmitri Alexeev, Norma Fisher, Michel Dalberto, Gábor Eckhardt, and Lev Natochenny. As Lee envisions sharing the joy and consolation of music with everyone, her performance venues extend to Interlochen Public Radio Station, Redeemer Church Traverse City, University of Michigan Hospital, Brookhaven Senior Living, Marie-Seebach Stiftung, and so on.
Lee studied with Christopher Harding and Christian Wilm Müller; she currently studies with Konstantin Scherbakov.
A church pianist since age 13, Lee believes playing music also as an expression of her faith. Speaking four languages and having translated for present-day composer biographies and in masterclasses, Lee seeks to promote music and musicians in various ways.
