Lee Lassetter is a multi-talented, multi-faceted musician. She is organist at Manhattan Beach Community Church, whose Adult Choir she accompanied on European concert tours.

Her work with older adults is as adjunct faculty in the North Orange County Community College District, where she directs two choirs – a chime choir and a senior chorus, as well as holding weekly music sessions for memory-impaired residents at four assisted living facilities. She maintains a studio of piano students, including children on the autistic spectrum.

An enthusiastic amateur recorder player, Lee also played second soprano in the Los Angeles Recorder Orchestra for two years.
