MY PROJECTS

Co-founded and co-directed by Lee-Chin, the Charleston Music

Fest has become an integral part of the cultural life of Charleston,

featuring some of today’s most acclaimed and distinguished

musicians.

Currently into its third successful season, the festival has brought world class artists to Charleston,

including cellist Suren Bagratuni, silver medalist of the Tchaikovsky International Competition, violin

legend Eugene Fodor, the first American to win the Tchaikovsky International Competition and Peter

Takács, first prize winner in the William Kapell International Competition.

Spoleto Study Abroad is a non-profit educational organization which offers professional

development opportunities for teachers, school administrators and adults and high school students

through exposure to the historical, architectural, and cultural riches of the Italian arts and humanities.

For the past few summers, Lee-Chin has been teaching and performing in the summer session for

students aged 15-19, an intensive interdisciplinary program with classes in vocal music, creative

writing, visual arts, photography, drama and dance, in a unique European setting.

The School of the Arts is one of six schools at the College of Charleston, a nationally recognized,

public liberal arts and sciences university located in the heart of historic Charleston, South Carolina.

Founded in 1770, the College is among the nation’s top universities for quality education, student

life and affordability.

Since her appointment as Director of the Strings Program and Professor of Violin at the College

of Charleston’s School of the Arts in 2001, Lee-Chin has actively grown the department, attracting

talented faculty and students, fund-raising for student scholarships and music programs, and

contributing exciting new activities to the vibrant cultural life of the community.

She knows how to seduce

listeners, drawing them into

her world with just a few

notes... This is artistry of the

highest level.
