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,
