To Build a House Premiered by Oscar Somorsalo

Lee was among one of the four composers from the Baltimore area that the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society commissioned in honor of its 25th anniversary. Lee’s piece To Build a House was premiered by Oscar Somersalo, a Finnish guitarist studying with Manuel Barrueco at the Peabody Institute. In the piece, the guitar evokes the synthesized sounds, repeated buildups, and driving pulses of electronic dance music.
