Korean-American violinist Haerim Elizabeth Lee captivates audiences by “leaving them breathless with impeccable phrasing and relevant musicality” (El Norte, Mexico). Elizabeth has developed a playing style indicative of the very essence of her personality: passionate, deliberate, and imaginative. 

As a performing artist and scholar, Elizabeth established herself as a musical-cultural visionary. She was the first recipient of the Tariso Young Artist Grant as the Artistic Director of MoKo Musik for promoting and commissioning new Korean music. She is also the Co-founder of Texas Chamber Music Institute and a Violin Professor at Texas Christian University. As a part of Evita String Quartet, she received the Bronze Medal Award from the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. Elizabeth mentors the faculty at an El-Sistema-inspired program and the Harmony Program in New York.

Elizabeth’s musical career is richly multi-faceted. Her most cherished experiences have been collaborating with world-renowned artists such as Robert McDuffie, Stephan Picard, Barry Shiffman, David Halen, Christopher Rex, and Todd Palmer.  She has performed in numerous music festivals such as Prussia Cove International Music Seminar, Banff Centre, Aspen Music Festival, Tanglewood Music Center, Music Academy of the West, Heifetz International Music Festival, Spoleto Festival USA, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, and Sarasota Music Festival. Alongside acclaimed pianist David Fung, she has presented concerts with Chamber Music Corvallis and North Okanagan Community Concert Association in British Columbia.

Elizabeth earned her Bachelor of Arts from the New England Conservatory, her Master in Music degree from Rice University Shepherd School of Music, and a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree from the University of Michigan. Elizabeth’s debut album, My Time is Now, released in 2019, is the first-ever recording to feature George Gershwin’s restored Steinway piano from his New York apartment.
