Mendel Lee is a music professional whose career oscillates between composition, music education, artistic entrepreneurship, and the pageantry arts. His work has been performed across the globe, most recently as a part of the World Expo 2020 Dubai, and his music has been described as “finding the right balance between minimalist… [static] space and forward motion and trajectory”. A passionate new music advocate, Mendel is the founder and executive director of nienteForte, a concert series devoted to championing new music in New Orleans. He also performs regularly as a percussionist with Versipel New Music.
