Hye-Jin Kim

Describing the artistry of violinist Hye-Jin Kim, The Strad lauded her “…heart-stopping and unrivaled beauty…” Ms. Kim’s sensitivity to the expressive and contextual components of a wide range of violin and chamber music repertoire enables her to transport audiences beyond mere technical virtuosity.

She made her Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall debut in 2011 and recently appeared at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, LeFrak Hall at Queens College’s Copland School of Music, Rockefeller University, and Little Rock Chamber Music Society. As a chamber musician, she has performed at Marlboro, Ravinia, Music@Menlo, Music from Angel Fire, Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival, Martha’s Vineyard Chamber Music, Prussia Cove, and Seoul Spring Festival. Ms. Kim has toured North America and the UK with Musicians from Marlboro and Open Chamber Music at Prussia Cove.

Korean-born, Hye-Jin Kim studied with Miriam Fried, Ida Kavafian, and Jaime Laredo at The Curtis Institute of Music and New England Conservatory. In addition to performing, she serves as Assistant Professor of Violin at East Carolina University. Beyond her musical activities, Ms. Kim is an avid reader of classic literature, with particular interest in the writings of 19th century British authors.
