American Journey
American Journey is a series of new programs curated by Kristin, which she is performing with the acclaimed multi-faceted pianist, Jeremy Jordan.
A native of Seoul, Korea, Kristin emigrated to the U.S. at the age of seven. During her childhood, playing the violin was a refuge for Kristin from bullying and racism — she moved to the U.S. not speaking any English, and feels the violin became her voice. As a foreign-born citizen of America, Kristin was compelled to select this repertoire to express her pride of the country she now calls her own, and offers these programs that have a distinct and recognizable sound of American music and its rich history. American Journey encapsulates both Kristin Lee's journey as an American, as well as the journeys of the composers in the United States.
