Awarded Second Prize and Audience Prize at the 2011 Westfield International Fortepiano Competition by a jury that included Robert Levin and the late Christopher Hogwood, fortepianist Mike Cheng-Yu Lee’s performances have since garnered attention for the fresh perspectives they bring to familiar repertoire. For his debut recital in Australia he received a rare five-star review in Limelight Magazine: “Try as one might, it was hard to avoid cliché responses like ‘stunning’, even ‘electrifying’. I don’t think I have heard a Mozart recital quite like this. I heard things in Mozart’s music I had never thought possible and certainly had never encountered before.” The Bloomington Herald Times additionally writes: “As a keyboard performer, Lee really is a major talent, no doubt about it; I expect press notices to start coming before long in praise of his musicianship.” Mike is an advocate of pianos that span the 18th- to the early 20th-centuries. Adept at working with both period and modern performers, he has appeared as fortepianist at many early and modern music festivals. As a devoted and experienced teacher, he has recently performed and guest taught at the Royal Academy of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, Eastman School of Music, University of Southern California, Northwestern University, the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor, among others. Mike has served as Visiting Assistant Professor at Indiana University–Bloomington, Lecturer at the Australian National University, and Director of the ANU Keyboard Institute. As a published scholar, he has presented on issues of performance practice, musical form, and musical embodiment at the Society for Music Theory, the European Music Analysis Conference, and the Society for Music Analysis. Mike studied at the Yale School of Music and holds a Ph.D. in musicology from Cornell University Among his teachers are Malcolm Bilson, Boris Berman, Michael Friedmann and James Webster.
