YPAW 16: Bernice Lee
Manage episode 276231284 series 2817362
After 16 episodes, I finally interviewed a guest whom I have never interacted with prior to our conversation, but lucky for me, this was a classic case of preceding reputation. I first came across Bernice when she won the President’s Young Performers’ Competition in 2016, which resulted in her concerto debut with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Since then, her career has gone from strength to strength, spending 2018 as Guest Co-Principal Oboe with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra and currently based in London and earning positions in Academy programme organized by the London Sinfonietta and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Accolades aside it was no surprise that Bernice deserved every ounce of success that she is enjoying at the moment. Many points that she brought up during the interview resonated with me - such as creating your own luck, sustaining her productivity during these difficult times and how she is providing value through her tireless work online. These are some of the primary ingredients to building up a successful career as a musician. We also spoke about the common dilemma musicians face with self-promotion. In this conversation with Bernice, she exudes a devotion to her craft, continuous pursuit of excellence and painstaking diligence in practice that is found in a great musician. This conversation has left me inspired and energized!
To sum it all up, what a remarkable musician!
