Joelle Kee

FIRST VIOLIN

With her violin case on her back, Ms. Kee has lived quite an itinerant musical life throughout North America since her family moved from South Korea in her youth. Under the tutelage of Atis Bankas, Zvi Zeitlin, and Paul Kantor, she earned her Bachelor of Music at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY; and Master of Music at Cleveland Institute of Music in Ohio. During those years she made solo appearances with Eastman Symphony, Korean-Canadian Symphony, and Kindred Spirit Orchestra and her chamber groups had won top prizes in Glenn Gould Chamber Music Competition and The Honor’s Chamber Competition.
