November 18th: International Young Artist Competition winner Hye-Jin Kim to perform in Florence



The Chamber Music in the Gallery series will feature violinist Hye-Jin Kim on November 18, 2012 at 5 PM in the Art Trail Gallery at 135 S Dargan St. This will be the last program in the Dargan St. location before renovations begin. As always the concert will be followed by a reception. Tickets will be available at the door for $10.00 each.

Hye-Jin Kim, winner of the 2009 Concert Artists Guild Competition, has been lauded by The Stradfor her “…heart-stopping, unrivalled beauty…well-thought out, yet of the moment.” Ms. Kim crafts extraordinary programs often reflecting her interests in Art and Literature which, paired with her rare sensitivity and intellect, set her apart in today’s music scene. This remarkable artistry brought her to international prominence quite early in her career when she was awarded First Prize at the Yehudi Menuhin Competition at the age of nineteen.

Current recital highlights include performances on the Kravis Center Young Artist Series in West Palm Beach, LeFrak Hall at Queens College’s Copland School of Music, Howland Cultural Center for the Patrons for Young Artists Series and the Chamber Music Society of Little Rock. She plays at Wigmore Hall with musicians from Prussia Cove in October 2012 and has toured the US as a member of Musicians from Marlboro.


Ms. Kim has performed as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of Christoph Eschenbach and the New Jersey Symphony led by Gerard Schwarz as well as with the BBC Concert Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, Pan Asia Symphony (Hong Kong), the Greenwich Village Symphony and the Hannover Chamber Orchestra, where she led the ensemble in Mozart’s A Major Concerto at age 12. She has appeared in major venues across North America, Europe and Asia, including the Kennedy Center Terrace Theater, Kimmel Center Verizon Hall, Salzburg’s Mirabel Schloss and St. John’s, Smith Square, London. At the invitation of Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, she was honored to perform at the U.N. Headquarters in both Geneva and New York. Ms. Kim has also served as a cultural representative for Korea in Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan through concert and outreach engagements.
