A newly named Steinway
Artist,
Ms. Kim performed Gershwin Concerto in F with Schenectady Symphony
Orchestra at Proctor's Theater and received the following review
from Schenectady Daily Gazette:
"Gershwin's Piano Concerto in
F received a sparkling performance from Young Kim... Kim gave a
poetic interpretation with well sung melodies, clean technique,
and a pacing that allowed her to shape the music into delicately
shaped arches. Her playing showed much thought, and she controlled
every note and nuance. Her audience jumped to its feet with
elation." Most recently, she appeared as soloist with
Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra.
