Reflections about her

“Ms Lee is one of the most astoundingly gifted violinist. It has been my pleasure to meet and hear in my 25 years of teaching and 50 years of performing as a concert violinist. Probably, a more accurate definition of her talent is approaching "genius", a word, as a former student myself of Nathan Milstein and protégé of Jascha Heifetz, I do not use lightly" – Erick Friedman, Yale University
"Singapore must be proud to claim this rising young star as her own… she is one of the gifted young violin luminaries among the vanguard leading the march of violin art into the 21st century" – Dr Henry Roth, critic for The Strad
Philharmonia Orchestra, Corn Exchange, Bedford Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto “A breathtaking and phenomenal performance, with emotion and maturity beyond her years … Min has that something extra, music that touches the heart. It is all so rare, in somebody so young.” -Margaret Campbell, Contributor to the The Strad, and the author "Great Violinists"
"More than remarkable… unbelievable " – Rugierro Ricci

Her concert reviews

Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto Winston-Salem Symphony “An absolutely spectacular performance of Tchaikovsky’s Concerto… Min delivered rippling passages as if they were child’s play, and combined this phenomenal virtuosity with extremely sensitive musicianship. Her playing was on a level to which all great musicians aspire.” Bob Waters Winston-Salem Journal, NC, USA
Gordon Back Recital Reviews Shanghai, Beijing, Malaysia, Singapore “A thorough mastery of her instrument, drawing from it a warm rich tone, vast dynamic contrast and a myriad shades of expression. Brahms was played with a mature understanding of styles, with no overdoing of rubatos so that when the occasion called for a really big one, the effect was miraculous. The rapport with pianist Gordon Back was impeccable. Wieniawski’s Faust Fantasy and Waxman’s Carmen Fantasy were tossed off with uncanny ease. ” The Arts Magazine
Wigmore Hall The violinist Lee Huei Min, ably partnered by the experienced Gordon Back, brought admiration for her tone and a positive approach at her Wigmore Hall debut…the audience greatly enjoyed the glitter of Waxma’s Carmen Fantasy. Geoffrey Crankshaw | Musical Opinion, London
Adelaide Symphony Orchestra Town Hall Soloist Min Lee impresses with considerable technical accomplishment and focus in her performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto. Her persuasive and lyrical account of the slow movement is undoubtedly the high point. Rodney Smith The Advertiser

I've been raising funds for various charities since I was five years old. It's something that means a lot to me. Over the years, I've raised close to $5.5 million and I hope it's just the beginning.
