Artist Profiles Daniel S. Lee, violin

Jeffrey Grossman, harpsichord

Praised by The New York Times for his “ravishing vehemence,” period violinist Daniel S. Lee has appeared as a soloist and leader with Early Music New York, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, New York Baroque Incorporated, and the Quodlibet Ensemble, among other groups. As the core violinist of the Sebastians, he won the Audience Prize at the 2012 Early Music America Baroque Performance Competition and was a finalist at the 2011 York Early Music International Competition. A piccolo violin specialist, he has performed as a soloist in performances of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 and Cantata No. 140 (Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme) and has given the modern-day premiere of his own transcription of Johann Pfeiffer’s concerto. Lee earned a bachelor of music degree from The Juilliard School, a master of music degree and an artist diploma from the Yale School of Music, and a doctor of musical arts degree from the University of Connecticut. He has given lectures and master classes at the Manhattan School of Music, Connecticut College, Purchase College (SUNY), the University of Kansas, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He teaches early music and chamber music at the Yale School of Music.

Keyboardist and conductor Jeffrey Grossman specializes in vital, engaging performances of music of the past, through processes that are intensely collaborative and historically informed. As the artistic director of the acclaimed baroque ensemble the Sebastians, this season Jeffrey directs concerts including Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and Handel’s Messiah from the organ and harpsichord, both in collaboration with TENET Vocal Artists, and performs Bach’s six sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord with Daniel S. Lee. In recent seasons, Jeffrey has performed with TENET, the Green Mountain Project, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Quodlibet, the Boston Early Music Festival, and numerous other ensembles across the country. For the past twelve seasons, he has also toured parts of the rural United States with artists of the Piatigorsky Foundation, performing outreach concerts intended to bring live classical music to underserved communities, most recently in Wyoming and southeast Alaska.

Jeffrey can be heard on the Avie, Gothic, Naxos, Albany, Soundspells, Métier, and MSR Classics record labels. A native of Detroit, Michigan, he holds degrees from Harvard College, the Juilliard School, and Carnegie Mellon University.
