Singaporean violinist Gabriel Lee’s multifaceted career spans compelling performances, education, and entrepreneurship. Equally at home on both baroque and modern violins, his playing has been praised for its “breathtaking intensity” and “a passion and concentration that was hard to surpass” (The Straits Times).

He has appeared as a soloist across the United States, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar, collaborating with ensembles such as the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Red Dot Baroque, and Bachfest Malaysia. A dedicated educator, Gabriel teaches at the YST Conservatory of Music and the School of the Arts (SOTA), and coaches young musicians whose achievements include prizes at international competitions and admission to leading conservatories worldwide.

Gabriel has conducted masterclasses and coached ensembles across Singapore, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia, and regularly serves as an adjudicator for local and international competitions, as well as NAFA bachelor’s and master’s level strings examinations under the Royal College of Music (RCM) programme. He is also a member of advisory boards including the ABRSM Music Education Advisory Committee.

As a scholar, he has published and presented research at renowned international conferences and academic journals. His achievements have been recognised with awards and scholarships including the JC Van Hulsteyn Award in Violin and the Paul Abisheganaden Grant for Artistic Excellence. He holds master’s degrees in Violin Performance and Baroque Violin Performance from the Peabody Conservatory and graduated as valedictorian from the YST Conservatory of Music.
