Darren Lee

Darren is based in Toronto, Canada and his professional career as a CPA involves roles as an income tax and financial advisor as well as an accounting and finance instructor. He has been involved with the Piano Texas Amateurs Program for several years and performed with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra in 2014. Exploring the chamber music repertoire is central to Darren’s musical activities and he is one of the founders of the Rosedale Quintet, comprised primarily of high-level amateur musicians. As a quintet, they have recently performed the works of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Franck. He is also currently involved in an ambitious multi-year project, under the partial guidance of Dr. Gwendolyn Mok, of learning most of the solo piano works of Ravel. In his remaining time, Darren has travelled the world extensively as a highly competitive runner in search of the perfect race. Highlights of his pre-COVID 19 marathon running exploits include those in Boston, Chicago, London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Rotterdam, and Fukuoka.
