Overview

Anna Ji-eun Lee (Korean: 이지은; born July 11, 1995), known professionally as Anna Lee, is an American concert violinist of Korean descent. She made her professional orchestral debut at the age of 6 with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Early life and education Anna Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea. She began violin lessons at the age of 4 with her father in Seoul, and soon after began formal training with Alexander Souptel after her family moved to Singapore. A year and a half later, she performed a sold-out concert at age 6 in Victoria Concert Hall, performing the first movement of the Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1 on invitation from maestro Lan Shui, music director of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. A few months later, she and her family moved to New York City after she was accepted to the Pre-College Division of the Juilliard School to study with Masao Kawasaki. Lee finished her studies with Masao Kawasaki and Cho-Liang Lin and graduated from the Juilliard School Pre-College Division and the Dalton School in 2013. She then matriculated at Harvard College, majoring in Comparative Literature, and took several leaves of absences to accommodate her performing career, eventually graduating in May 2020. She also completed a formal study abroad program in Paris, where she took courses in Critical Theory, Media Studies, and Comparative Literature at the Sorbonne University and the New Sorbonne University. While living in Boston, Lee studied privately with Miriam Fried and Donald Weilerstein; between 2014 and 2017, she studied with Ana Chumachenco at the Kronberg Academy. Career

— Speaking in 1983 with Ron Miller, again on Ford; op.cit.
“John Wayne was such a nice man, but he was always a lttle shy with women, particularly blondes. As for Boris, he was a lovely man. We used to have great fun reciting poetry to each other.”
