About the Artist
Siwoo Kim is an "incisive" and "compelling" (The New York Times) violinist who performs as soloist and chamber musician. Siwoo made his New York concerto debut at Carnegie Hall–Stern Auditorium with James DePreist and the Juilliard Orchestra. In addition, he has given concerto performances with the Columbus, Houston, Springfield and Tulsa symphony orchestras, among others.
Highlights from the last season include the world premiere performance of Samuel Adler’s first violin concerto and a Walt Disney Concert Hall concerto debut. An enthusiastic collaborator, Kim founded Quartet Senza Misura. Praised for their “whip-smart performances” (Alex Ross, The New Yorker), the string quartet has performed at an array of venues such as Alice Tully Hall (Lincoln Center), Terrace Theater (The Kennedy Center), Seoul Arts Center, and Le Poisson Rouge. Siwoo Kim is a violinist of Carnegie Hall's Ensemble ACJW and Marlboro Music Festival. He is also a returning guest artist of Ensemble DITTO. He has performed chamber music with Itzhak Perlman, Joyce DiDonato, Kim Kashkashian, Stefan Jackiw and Richard O'Neill, as well as with members of the Guarneri, Juilliard and Takacs String Quartets.
Kim was named the recipient of the King Award for Young Artists (2012). He took second place at the Corpus Christi International Competition for Piano and Strings (2010), where he was also awarded special prizes for the best performance of solo Bach and violin performance. He has also been named top prizewinner in the California, Chengdu, Crescendo, Hellam, Ima Hogg, Juilliard, Schadt, Sejong and WAMSO competitions.
Kim received both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from The Juilliard School. As the recipient of the Elsie and Walter W. Naumburg Scholarship, he led the Juilliard Orchestra as concertmaster and studied with Robert Mann, Donald Weilerstein and Ronald Copes. Siwoo Kim studied with Roland and Almita Vamos at The Music Institute of Chicago. Kim is the founding artistic director of VIVO Music Festival.
