Korea Music Foundation presents: Jung-Ja Kim, Piano

Tuesday, April 15, 8PM
Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center
(70 Lincoln Center Plaza, NYC)

Korean-born pianist Jung-Ja Kim has won extraordinary critical acclaim for her pianistic brilliance and rare insight. Early in Ms. Kim’s career, she received national recognition in her native land and became a top prizewinner of major competitions. A scholarship to The Juilliard School brought her to the U.S., where her principal teachers were Irwin Freundlich and Ilowa Kabos. During her studies at Juilliard, Leonard Bernstein selected Jung-Ja Kim for a televised concerto performance of the New York Philharmonic Young People’s Concerts. She also added First Prize in the Kosciuszko Chopin Competition to her long list of accomplishments. Ms. Kim has appeared as a soloist with many orchestras including the Baltimore Symphony and the St. Louis Chamber Symphony, and as a recitalist at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Boston’s Gardner Museum and the Phillips Gallery in Washington, D.C. She currently serves on the piano faculty at the Boston Conservatory.
