Part four of the book, Performance Science, features writing by Lee as well as guest research experts from a diverse array of fields.


Multidisciplinary scholars include USF Morsani College of Medicine Professors Dustin Hardwick and Matthew Lazinski, USF Engineering Professor Stephanie Carey, University of Oregon Department of Dance Professor Steven Chatfield, University of Kansas Applied Behavior Science Professor Emeritus Keith Miller, Research Associate George Waddell and Professor Aaron Williamon of the Royal College of Music, and Florida State University School of Dance Professor Tom Welsh.

but now the light

ARS NOSTRA: BUT NOW THE NIGHT features new music performances by Lee and collaborating pianist Martha Thomas. Together, they unveil the exciting textures of a "super piano" as they perform original works for two pianos by internationally recognized composers Gerald Chenoweth, Eun-Hye Park, Lewis Nielson, Daniel Perlongo, and USF Associate Professor of Composition Paul Reller.


The CD was recorded at the USF Music Concert Hall in 2016. See Ravello Records for details.
