Basel-based performer and musicologist Fiona Kizzie Lee is frequently praised by critiques for her exceptional versatility, demonstrating equal artistry on recorders—including pipe and tabor and double recorder—and early keyboard instruments such as organetto and clavisimbalum. She is the director of the award-winning Ensemble Pampinea, with which she has developed innovative and research-informed concert programmes. Her performances have taken her across Europe and beyond in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Czechia, Slovenia, Italy, Lithuania, Austria, the Netherlands, and Canada. Under her direction, her ensembles have received international acclaim, winning First Prize at the London Early Music Young Ensemble Competition and becoming finalists at the Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci in Germany and the International Young Artists Competition in England. 

Alongside her performing career, Lee is an active educator and speaker in the field of early music. She has taught at the Renaissancemusikwoche in Sondershausen (Germany) and the International Summer School of Early Music in Valtice (Czech Republic), as well as given guest lectures and workshops at the Education University of Hong Kong, the University of Calgary, and the Ljubljana Academy of Music.

A Scholar of The Jockey Club Music and Dance Fund and The UZH Candoc Grant, Lee combines artistic excellence with meticulous scholarship. She obtained two Master’s degrees in Medieval/Renaissance recorder and early keyboard performance in the class of Corina Marti at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland. Her doctoral dissertation, “15th-Century Central European Keyboard Tablatures in Context,” was awarded summa cum laude at the University of Zurich.
