Who is Warren Lee?

Warren Wai On Lee is a Hong Kong-born pianist, Steinway Artist, an artist of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, and a music educator; and is awarded the Ten Outstanding Young Persons Award in 2012 in recognition of his outstanding achievements in the performing arts and contribution to the community.

At the age of six, he made his début with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Following his Macau début with the Macau Chamber Orchestra at the age of ten, the South China Morning Post wrote, “Warren Lee’s performance bore out the insight… that exceptional artists are not so much people to be praised as phenomena to be treasured, bearers of a power altogether greater than the poor vessels that contain it.” He went on to become the first prize winner of the 1995 Stravinsky Awards International Piano Competition and the Grand Prix Ivo Pogorelich. In 2000, he graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and Yale School of Music with the highest of honors.

As a music educator, he released in 2008 his educational CD album, “From Bach To Gershwin: A Musical Journey”. The Audio Land Magazine calls it a "rare successful album that Hong Kong can be proud of."
