Ms. Kim has collaborated with distinguished pianists Jacob Lateiner and Seymour Lipkin on the major recital repertoire and gave numerous concerts in New York City.  Her performances also include recitals in Iowa under the auspices of the Des Moines Women's Club, and in Chicago on the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series, a live syndicated radio broadcast.
In addition to her concert career, Ms. Kim is a dedicated teacher and believes it is a great privilege to ""train and inspire the next generation of professional cellists.""  She is currently on the faculty of the Next and the Prep divisions of the Mannes College The New School for Music in Manhattan. 
Ms. Kim is a graduate of the Juilliard School where she studied with Channing Robbins and Harvey Shapiro.  She is playing on a Lorenzo Ventapane cello made in the 18th century.
