Eun Lee

Executive & Artistic Director / Co-Founder

As a teacher, musician and arts professional, Eun Lee has prioritized socially relevant musical experiences for audiences of all ages. From 2012 to 2016, Eun worked as a teaching artist based at the Corona Youth Music Project, the first El Sistema-inspired program to be launched in Queens, NY. During this time, Eun led classes of beginning and intermediate woodwind students, ensembles such as the Corona Children’s Chorus and Corona Children’s Orchestra, and co-designed the program’s Early Childhood Music curriculum. Since 2015, Eun began shifting her practice from direct service towards program administration, and was employed at institutions such as the Diller-Quaile School of Music, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and Carnegie Hall. At the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, she notably expanded the Youth Orchestra of St. Luke’s enrollment and restructured the program and curriculum to better serve the musical and socioemotional needs of its students. At Carnegie Hall, Eun served as a Manager of Learning & Engagement Programs at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, where she oversaw Link Up: an international program which connects 120 orchestras with their local elementary schools through an interactive and participatory curriculum. Eun is currently employed as Associate Director of New Initiatives at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. In tandem with her role at Lincoln Center, Eun is the executive director of The Dream Unfinished, an Activist Orchestra, which she co-founded in 2014. She has been invited to speak on The Dream Unfinished at Chamber Music America, the League of American Orchestras, the Kennedy Center, Harvard University, and others.
