Since his triumphant success at the Concours Géza Anda in Zurich in 2009, Jinsang Lee has established himself as one of the most promising pianists of his generation. At that time, he not only won the first prize, but also became the first participant in the history of the competition winning all the special prizes: the Audience Prize, the Mozart Prize, and the Schumann Prize.

Lee's artistic talent had already been honored in several prior prestigious piano competitions: first prizes at the Hong Kong International Piano Competition (2008, chaired by Vladimir Ashkenazy) and at the International Pianoforte Competition Cologne, Germany (2005) following several top prizes in Korea and Japan.

Lee’s collaboration includes concerts with Vladimir Ashkenazy, David Effron, Eivind Gullberg-Jensen, Peter Gülke, Mikhail Jurowski, Roman Kofman, Jonathan Nott, Ola Rudner, Muhai Tang, Umeda Toshiaki, Mario Venzago, Christopher Warren-Green, and Nikolaj Znaider.

His orchestral collaboration includes Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, Berner Symphonieorchester, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Neue Philharmonie Westfalen, Nürnberger Symphonieorchester, Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra, Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, Wiener Kammerorchester, WDR Radio Orchestra Cologne, Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, and Zurich Chamber Orchestra.

Lee has performed at music festivals including Busoni Festival, Lucerne Festival, Menton Festival, Gstaad Menuhin Festival, Montreux Festival, Murten Classics, Ruhr Piano Festival, and Seoul Art Center Orchestra Festival.

In search of the perfect sound, Lee took a bit of unusual path by spending time at Steinway Austria under the direction of Stefan Knüpfer (piano technique master and protagonist of the documentary "Pianomania"). He continued to educate himself the craft of piano making at Steinway Hamburg.

A passionate chamber musician, he is a member of the Beethoven Trio Bonn. Also a highly regarded writer, he regularly writes articles for magazines and newspapers in Korea. Lee is currently a faculty member at the Korea National University of Arts.
