David DQ Lee

David DQ Lee is one of the most promising countertenors of his generation. He has been a prizewinner at numerous international competitions, including the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in New York, the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Belgium, the Young Concert Artists International Competition, and the Rosa Ponselle International Vocal Competition in New York.

The Time Colonist wrote: “Lee, [in the role of Cherubino], stole the show—his aria Voi che sapete brought the house down.”

Born in Korea, David DQ Lee began his musical journey at a very young age with the country’s most prestigious children’s choir, the World Vision Korean Children’s Choir, where he received intensive vocal and musical training. He made his recording debut on the ATMA label with a piano recital program that includes Haydn’s cantata Arianna a Naxos.
