Siwoo Kim is an "incisive" and "compelling" (Zachary Woolfe, The New York Times) violinist who plays with “stylistic sensitivity and generous tonal nuance” (John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune). He performs as soloist and chamber musician, and is the co-founding artistic director of VIVO Music Festival in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
Siwoo gave the world premiere performance of Samuel Adler’s violin concerto which was written for him. He recorded the work on Linn Records to commemorate the composer’s 90th birthday, and BBC Music Magazine praised his “notable fire and impassioned playing.” Siwoo made his Carnegie Hall concerto debut in Stern Auditorium with the Juilliard Orchestra. He has since performed with orchestras around the world including the Staatsorchester Brandenburgisches Frankfurt, Columbus Symphony, Gangneung Philharmonic, Houston Symphony, Johannesburg Philharmonic, Kwazulu-Natal Philharmonic, Orchestre Royal de Chambre, Seongnam Philharmonic, Springfield Symphony, and Tulsa Symphony in venues such as Walt Disney Concert Hall and Lotte Concert Hall.
Siwoo received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from The Juilliard School where he studied under Robert Mann and Donald Weilerstein with full scholarship. He then completed a two-year fellowship with Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect and spent his summers at the Marlboro Music Festival, collaborating with notable artists such as Jeremy Denk, Denes Varjon and Mitsuko Uchida. Prior to college, Siwoo studied under Roland and Almita Vamos at the Music Institute of Chicago.
Siwoo performs on a 1753 “ex-Birkigt” Giovanni Battista Guadagnini violin on generous loan through Rare Violins In Consortium.
