British cellist Yurie Lee, of Japanese and Hong Kong-British heritage, is based in London. A versatile musician, Yurie enjoys a varied career as a chamber musician, soloist, orchestral performer, and teacher, appearing regularly in some of the world's leading concert halls across Europe, Canada, and the UK.

Past highlights include a collaboration with the Nash Ensemble at Wigmore Hall, where she performed Julian Anderson's Sky Piece for solo cello alongside other works. She has made several appearances at the Britten Pears Arts Summer Festival with Trio Mazzolini and the Knussen Chamber Orchestra. Together with pianist Harry Rylance, she performed on a SAGA Cruises tour of Germany and the Netherlands, culminating in a recital at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw.

Yurie has appeared at prestigious venues worldwide, including the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts and Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto, Konzerthaus Berlin, the Salzburg Mozarteum, Casa da Música in Porto, Wigmore Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and the Barbican Centre.

British pianist Adam Repa enjoys a varied career as a soloist, chamber musician, teacher, composer, and arranger. His recent performances have taken him to venues including Steinway Hall, St Mary's Frinton, Proms at St Jude's, the National Liberal Club, the National Physical Laboratory in London, and, most recently, his American recital debut in Baltimore, which included Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 3.

A sought-after concerto soloist, Adam performed Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Derby Concert Orchestra at Derby Cathedral under the baton of Jack Capstaff in March 2024, returning the following season to perform Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto. In January 2027, he will appear alongside distinguished artists at the POSK Music Festival, commemorating the centenary of the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.

An enthusiastic chamber musician, Adam regularly collaborates with cellist Yurie Lee, pianist Julia Klimek, and baritone Lars Fischer. His work as a composer has also attracted increasing recognition: his Prelude in C minor was transcribed and recorded by Royal Academy of Music pianist Vladislav Mikhalchuk for Oclassica, while his March in E-flat was recorded by Mikhalchuk together with Grammy Award-winning trumpeter David Longoria.
