Hana Lee

Clarinet

Hana Lee, born in Seoul, South Korea, began taking instrumental lessons aged nine and developed a deep passion for music from an early age. During her education in South Korea, she won awards at numerous national competitions. One formative experience was her participation in a masterclass led by Thomas Lindhorst in Seoul, where she met her current professor. This meeting inspired her to continue her studies in Germany. Today, Hana Lee is studying at Detmold University for Music (Hochschule für Musik Detmold), where she has successfully completed her Master’s degree and is currently broadening her artistic development on the graduate recital programme.

In 2024, the clarinettist and her quartet won the interpretation competition organized by Detmold Music University’s alumni association and subsequently performed with the ensemble at the prize-winners’ concert. Since 2026, Hana Lee has also been an academist at the Mahler Chamber Orchestra Academy, leading to performances at such prestigious concert halls as the Essen Philharmonic Hall, the Dortmund Concert Hall and the Cologne Philharmonic Hall.
