Euroasia Founder

Educator, violinist, and pianist Angel Lee is a driving force in Malaysia’s music education and performing arts. At 14, she became the youngest student at the Malaysian Institute of Art and later earned a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the University of Melbourne by 20. She holds multiple international music diplomas, including the FTCL, LTCL, LRSM, LGSMD, LMusA, AMusA, and ATCL.

As an educator, Angel has taught at Universiti Malaya, the Malaysian Institute of Art, and the National Arts Academy (ASWARA). At 28, she became one of the youngest musicians appointed to Trinity College London’s examiner panel and is a sought-after adjudicator for competitions across the region.

She also founded the Seremban Quartet and Arioso Sinfonia, providing young musicians with world-class performance opportunities. Arioso Sinfonia, with musicians as young as eight, has earned recognition in regional ensemble competitions and was invited to perform on tour in Italy.

Committed to elevating Malaysia’s music standards, Angel founded the Euroasia Association of Performing Arts in 2012, a leading non-profit shaping Southeast Asia’s classical music landscape. Euroasia’s competitions—the Euroasia Strings Competition, Malaysian Piano Competition, and Euroasia Youth Music Festival—have propelled young musicians onto international stages, elite youth orchestras, and top music schools, while expanding access to classical music education. With participation growing each year, Euroasia’s impact continues to strengthen, reflecting its role in nurturing young talent. Beyond competitions, Euroasia also leads extensive outreach and education initiatives, including masterclasses, workshops, and performance opportunities, ensuring that students—regardless of background—receive high-quality musical training.

Angel’s contributions have earned several recognitions, including being named one of JCI’s Ten Outstanding Young Malaysians in 2022. She has also received royal honors from the Negeri Sembilan Royal Family—the Setiawan Tuanku Muhriz (STM) in 2014 and the Darjah Tuanku Muhriz (DTM) in January 2025—for her dedication to the arts.
