This week on The Phenomenal 50, a performance from April 5, 2019 of the Quartet No. 1 in G minor for Piano, Violin, Viola, and Cello, Op. 25 by Johannes Brahms featuring pianist Wu Qian, Violinist Arnaud Susmann, violist Yura Lee, and cellist Nicholas Canellakis.

Tattoos are controversial where Yura Lee and I come from, Korea and Japan respectively, and in the classical music world. In this week’s short episode from a past Skip the Repeat guest, we unpack her thoughts before she got her first ink, anxiety about whether she would be accepted by the industry or not, what she learned afterwards, and why we will never know until we take that plunge.

Yura Lee loves to provoke. Yura talks to Kai about living in Portland, Oregon (2:10), growing up in a conservative household in Seoul, Korea (6:20), and coming to the United States when she was nine years old and what that experience was like for her (13:50). They discuss the moment she discovered her true love for music long after she had begun her professional career (14:50) and her tattoos and their societal implications in Korea (43:40).
