Lee has ... no idea how long he will stay in his current home city of Berlin. He moved there because his manager is there and the city, according to him, is the most cultural and artistic city in the world. Eight professional orchestras in one city is an impressive figure.

Besides touring and practising ... Lee hosts master classes at music schools, attends music seminars and judges music competitions.

Lee grew up ... in a musical family. His two older sisters play the piano and the violin, respectively. To make up the family trio, he began learning cello at the age of nine.

Three years later ... Lee was admitted to the world-famous Juilliard School. It's a very competitive school, but Lee only saw music as an interest and didn't care about getting to the top.
