Professional Biography
Well
versed in repertoire from the Renaissance to the twenty-first century,
multi-keyboardist Patricia Lee performs on a variety of instruments that
run the gamut from early harpsichords and virginals to synthesizers and
samplers of the present day. An
accomplished pianist since a young age, Ms. Lee has also studied both
harpsichord and organ, and has an active career that combines solo
performance and teaching with a variety of ensemble playing, including
accompanying, chamber music and orchestral keyboard work. Her principal teachers at DePaul University were Mary Sauer
(pianist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra) and Dr. B. Lynn Hebert,
harpsichordist.
Ms.
Lee is the principal keyboardist of both the Northwest Indiana Symphony
Orchestra and the Elgin (IL) Symphony Orchestra, and also performs
frequently with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as an adjunct keyboardist,
playing harpsichord, piano, celesta, organ, various electronic
instruments, and keyboard glockenspiel. In her work at the CSO, Ms. Lee
has performed with many world class conductors and soloists including
Daniel Barenboim, Itzach
Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, James Levine, Ton Koopman,
Roger Norrington Nicholas McGegan,
Jaime Laredo and Gil Shaham among others, and
has participated in major recordings, including the sound track to
“Fantasia 2000” for Walt Disney Pictures. She has twice been
featured in solo roles at the Chicago Symphony, in 2004 as harpsichord
soloist in the Petite Symphony Concertante by
Frank Martin,
under the baton of Charles Dutoit,
and in 2006 as organist in the Bach Cantata #35, under the baton of Franz
Bruggen.
Ms. Lee has also performed on tour with the CSO, at the Lucerne
Festival in Switzerland,
and at Carnegie Hall in New
York.
As
a freelance orchestra keyboardist, Ms. Lee has performed in stage
orchestras for several artists in the pop music world, including Bobby
McFerrin, Hal Linden, The Moody Blues, Kansas and the cast of Beatlemania. She can also be heard on CD in two
recent recordings; “Music
for Trumpet and Winds” (Albany Records) with trumpeter John Hagstrom (of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra) and the
De Paul Wind Ensemble, and a recording of the works of Aaron Copland with
the Elgin Symphony Orchestra on the Naxos label. In addition to her work
as a performer, Ms. Lee maintains a full time teaching position at Saint
Xavier University of Chicago where she is Associate Professor of Music
and Director of Keyboard Studies.
