Biography
Born in Busan, South Korea, Han Sol Lee Eo is a versatile violinist specializing in historically informed performance practice, active throughout Europe and Asia. She is the artistic director of the early music ensemble Nuri Collective and regularly appears as a soloist and concertmaster with various ensembles, notably as guest concertmaster of the Bremer Barockorchester and concertmaster of Ensemble 300+. In 2024, she was awarded the Schmelzer Prize at the prestigious International Heinrich Schmelzer Competition at Melk Abbey.
She made her orchestral debut at the age of 13 with the Wonju Philharmonic Orchestra. At 17, she began her musical studies in Germany at the Berlin University of the Arts (Universität der Künste Berlin), studying with Prof. Latica Honda-Rosenberg and Irene Wilhelmi, where she earned her Diplom. She subsequently specialized in baroque violin, completing her Master’s degree with distinction. She has also received valuable artistic inspiration through collaborations with leading figures in the early music scene, including Christoph Huntgeburth, Enrico Onofri, Sigiswald Kuijken, Florence Malgoire, and Pedro Memelsdorff.
As founder and artistic director of Nuri Collective, she develops innovative projects at the crossroads of historical practice and contemporary art. Supported by various cultural foundations, productions such as the world premiere of Yonghee Kim’s Elsterkantate (Magpie Cantata) engage tradition in dialogue with contemporary discourse, forging a meaningful cultural bridge between Europe and Korea. In addition to performances in Germany, her concert engagements have taken her to Spain, Switzerland, Japan, and South Korea. Through her inventive programming, she remains dedicated to uncovering rare repertoires and opening up new artistic horizons.
