Pianist Pei-Shan Lee has toured the world as a duo and chamber music partner, in concerts that include the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Boston’s Jordan Hall, Cleveland’s Severance Hall, Taiwan’s National Concert Hall, and venues in France, Germany, Belgium and Israel.

A member of the New England Conservatory’s Collaborative Piano and Chamber Music Faculty, Ms. Lee has appeared in recitals with some of America’s most important musicians, including violinists Margaret Batjer, Ryu Goto, Jacques Israelievitch, Stefan Jackiw, Ani Kavafian, Joseph Silverstein, and Donald Weilerstein; violists Che-Yen Chen, Kim Kashkashian, and Dimitri Murrath; cellists Robert DeMaine, Andres Diaz, Paul Katz, Laurence Lesser, and Pieter Wispelwey; Formosa, Harlem, Jupiter, and Szymanowski Quartets.

A native of Taiwan, Lee came to the U.S. after winning the Youth Division of Taiwan’s National Piano Competition. Frequently invited for guest residencies and masterclasses in China and Taiwan, her doctoral thesis “The Collaborative Pianist: Balancing Roles in Partnership” has become an important resource for schools wishing to begin a Collaborative Piano program. Ms. Lee is also on the faculty of the Perlman Music Program in Sarasota, and the California State University Northridge, where she created a new MM in Collaborative Piano in 2013.
