Seulki Lee (DMA ’19) has been awarded a UT College of Fine Arts Graduate School Continuing Fellowship for 2018-19. The award includes a $14,000 stipend, a full-tuition assistance benefit as well as a supplement for basic student medical insurance. The total estimated value of the fellowship is nearly $35,000.
Since Seulki arrived in Austin a year and a half ago, she has already: won the Principal Cello position of the Round Rock Symphony Orchestra; won the Associate Principal Cello position of the Victoria Symphony Orchestra; become a member of the Britten-Pears Orchestra, led by conductor Marin Alsop, performing at Snape Maltings Concert Hall in Suffolk and Royal Festival Hall in London; and become a member of the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra, performing at the Luzerne Concert Hall, the Köln Konzertsaal, and the Hamburg Der Grosse Saal. Seulki also won Second Prize in the Lewisville International Competition for Strings.
The Graduate Fellowship will allow Seulki to focus on one of her life passions, the Six Unaccompanied Cello Suites of Bach. Congratulations, Seulki!
