Korean-American violinist Kristin Lee is an artist of remarkable musicality and impeccable technique. She enjoys a vibrant career as a soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician and is equally noted for her growing reputation in collaborations with various genres of music.

Paul Watkins joined the famed Emerson String Quartet in May 2013 and enjoys a distinguished career both as cellist and conductor. In 2009 he became the first-ever Music Director of the English Chamber Orchestra.
