Jessica Jinyeong Lee, the Richmond-bred violinist who is currently assistant concertmaster of the Cleveland Orchestra, will leave the ensemble to teach full-time at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
She has served on the violin and chamber-music faculty of the conservatory since 2019, and now is head of its violin faculty.
Lee, who performed locally during childhood studies with the Shanghai Quartet’s Weigang Li and later, while studying at the Curtis Institute of Music, was featured as a guest soloist with the Richmond Symphony. Prior to joining the Cleveland Orchestra in 2016, she was a New York-based recitalist and chamber musician and taught at Rutgers University and Vassar College.
