Lee Tsang received vocal training from Alison Shiel, Mary Hitch, Keith Davis, Sarah Rhodes, and Sarah Leonard and has participated in public masterclasses with international pianist and broadcaster David Owen Norris. His solo repertoire includes major choral works by Purcell, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Fauré, Schubert, Stainer, Vaughan Williams and Tippett; recital works by composers such as Schumann, Vaughan Williams and Copland; and arias from popular operas by Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti and Verdi. He has championed work by neglected nineteenth-century composers such as Battison Haynes, and in the field of classical contemporary vocal music, his performances and premieres have included works by Iannis Xenakis (Pour Maurice), Alastair Borthwick (Time Being and Days, 2010-13), Torsten Rasch (The Dreaming Boys, 2012), Andrew McBirnie (American Lyrics, 2013), Ronald Corp (Songs of Larkin, 2013), and Richard Tsang (Ignorance and The Trees, 2013). He has duo partnerships with Jonathan Gooing (UK) and Agata Jozwik (Europe) and he has performed and recorded with the Heath Quartet, international pianist Sarah Beth Briggs, soprano Sarah Leonard and, most recently two-time Juno award winning jazz pianist and composer David Braid (for whom he recorded 'Shipping out' from the Red Hero Cantata, 2014). His solo work has taken him to locations throughout the UK, to Europe and China, and in 2015 he makes his North American debut.

Lee holds a first class degree in Music (Newcastle), a MMus (distinction) in Conducting Studies (UEA) and a PhD in Music (Southampton) and he is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. A former Lecturer and Research Fellow of Birmingham Conservatoire, he is now a longstanding Lecturer in Music at the University of Hull and has undertaken roles that have included Concerts Director, Director of Performance and Director of Engagement. Currently School Liaison Officer for the School of Drama Music and Screen, he is also Vice-Chair of Hull Music Hub and heads the schools singing strategy for the Hull region. His teaching extends to music from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, music theory, conducting, orchestral studies, vocal performance and film and he is Programme Leader for foundation and collaborative programmes (including music theatre).

As a conductor, Lee received training from Eric Clarke, Isobel Preece, Julian Webb, Martyn Brabbins, Peter Stark and Adrian Brown. For over 20 years, his conducting work for numerous professional and amateur groups has embraced a diverse repertoire, including work by contemporary composers Birtwistle, Maxwell Davies, Simaku and Richard Tsang, symphonies by Haydn, Mahler, Tchaikovsky and Vaughan Williams, major choral works by Tippett (A Child of Our Time), Prokofiev (Alexander Nevsky), Bernstein (Chichester Psalms) and Vaughan Williams (Five Tudor Portraits) and, for the stage, works by Purcell (Dido and Aeneas), Berlioz (Lelio), Copland (Appalachian Spring), Weill (Seven Deadly Sins, Der Jasager, Der Protagonist, Lady in the Dark), Bernstein (Candide), Stravinsky (A Soldier's Tale), Walton (The Bear) and Webern (Dead). In 2004 he founded the Sinfonia UK Collective (originally as Hull Sinfonietta) initially to improve access to professional music-making in the UK's Humber region, to facilitate new work by living composers and to explore issues relating to democratic authorship. His work with the ensemble continues now on an increasingly national and international basis.
