The Lee Trio will present its spring concert on Thursday, March 18, at 7:30 p.m. in Squires Recital Hall, in Lee University’s Humanities Center.

The Trio will share the music of Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Ghost Trio,” Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “Trio Élégiaque,” and “Café Music” by Paul Schoenfeld.

“We invite the community to come and share the most gorgeous music ever written,” said Xiaoqing Yu, associate professor of violin at Lee and Trio member. “The pieces are chosen with our audience in mind.”

Formed in September 2017, the dynamic Lee Trio features faculty members from the Lee University School of Music Xiaoqing Yu, violin; Theodore Kartal, cello; and Jason DuRoy, piano.

The Lee Trio advocates for cross-cultural unity through music, and its members serve as artistic ambassadors for music education between the United States and Asia.

The ensemble has appeared in concerts and masterclasses in North America and Asia, and its performances have won the trio popularity with large public audiences as well as educational institutions. When not touring internationally, Lee Trio regularly performs on campuses and surrounding communities across the U.S.

During the summers of 2018 and 2019 Lee Trio performed in Bangkok, Hua-Hin (Thailand), Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi (Vietnam), Lanzhou, Dongying, Chongqing, Zhuhai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Shanghai, Rizhao, Qingdao (China), and Pusan, (South Korea). Mr. Yu says they plan to return to Asia in the summer of 2021.

This concert is free, non-ticketed, and open to the public with limited seating. Livestream viewing is also available and can be found at https://livestream.com/leeu.
