From Clementi to Carnegie

From Clementi to Carnegie is an inspirational autobiography of
Singaporean violinist Siow Lee Chin. The story of one of Singapore’s favourite
daughters of classical music began at age 15 when against the odds,
Lee Chin made the leap from her humble Clementi HDB flat to become
the first Singaporean talent-spotted to study at America’s prestigious
Curtis Institute of Music, which has produced musical giants the likes of
conductor Leonard Bernstein. Single-handedly, she carved a name as one
of the most distinguished violinists of her generation, at a time when
classical music was not a popular career choice in Singapore. But success
was by no means smooth sailing.
