Christine Lee has been noted by The New York Times as a “clear delight.” As a freelancer in Seattle, Christine performs frequently with the Pacific Northwest Ballet and the Seattle Symphony and has also appeared with 5th Avenue. Always looking for a diverse range of genres and repertoire, in recent seasons Christine has collaborated with Vivian Fung on a commissioned work and world premiere with L’arc Trio, and traveled to Bergen for a recital tour with pianist Oda Voltersvik, focusing on lesser known female Nordic composers as part of the Grieg-in-Bergen Festival. Christine is also the founder of the Seattle Quartet (@seattlequartet), the string quartet that launched Fever’s popular Candlelight series in Seattle and has released music on Spotify. As an educator, she taught and coordinated the chamber music department at the University of Washington from 2021-2024, and has given masterclasses at institutions like San Francisco Conservatory, Sacramento State University, and Central Washington University. In 2017, Christine completed a Fulbright Fellowship in Paris, France, studying with Michel Strauss. She holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Juilliard School and a postgraduate chamber music degree from San Francisco Conservatory, and her teachers include Bonnie Hampton and Richard Aaron.
