classical piano, chamber music

Described as “impressive” (NYTimes), “impeccable” (Fanfare Magazine), and “entrancing” (BBC Music Magazine), pianist Lee Dionne has performed numerous solo and chamber debut recitals in such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Jordan Hall, Merkin Hall, Spivey Hall, and the Philharmonic in Bratislava. With his ensemble the Merz Trio, Lee was a recipient of the prestigious Naumburg Award in Chamber Music and first prize winner of the Fischoff, Chesapeake, and Concert Artist Guild Competitions. Currently Lee co-directs Hayes Street Studio — an international centre for chamber music — alongside flautist Rosie Gallagher. Founded by Lee and Rosie in 2023, the studio presents over forty concerts of chamber music annually, featuring leading Australian and international musicians. Since moving to Sydney in 2023, Lee has partnered with and been presented by organisations including Musica Viva, Piano Plus, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Sydney Writers’ Festival, ABC Classic, Fine Music Sydney, Omega Ensemble, Sydney Eisteddfod, and MOST. Lee joins the faculty of the Sydney Conservatorium as Associate Lecturer in Piano and Collaborative Piano in 2025
