Hailed as a “Miracle” by Gramophone, Trey Lee enthrals audiences with a virtuosity that combines intellectual sophistication with a profound depth of emotions. His concerto debut at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage won him a standing ovation, with New York Times critic Anthony Tommasini declaring him “the excellent cellist…with enveloping richness and lyrical sensitivity.” The late Lorin Maazel praised him as “a marvellous protagonist…a superb cellist” after conducting Trey in Haydn’s C Major Concerto with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Trey's unique take on what it means to be a musician with depth and purpose in the 21st century is reflected in his continuous quest for new repertoire and interpretations that incorporate history, culture, other art forms and social sciences to bring a holistic musical experience to his audience--as exemplified in his latest album "Seasons Interrupted". "The reason I am motivated to connect with the public is I believe music is more than just the notes...it's about its role in our society and how it needs to serve a purpose bigger than any one of us!" A Hong Kong-born cellist based in Berlin, Trey's musical journey started in New York, then continued at Harvard (studying economics) and finally throughout Europe. Today, he traverses the world with his cello, playing as soloist with orchestras and other musical partners.
