Dr. Jin Hee Kim is an
expert teacher and accomplished violinist known for artistic innovation. At
Universities and in her private studio, Dr. Kim has mentored award-winning

renowned solo and chamber musicians, at music festivals, and as a soloist with
many local orchestras. Currently, she is working on a CD of the complete Ives
Violin Sonatas.

Dr. Kim’s innovative approach to performance blossomed in 1992 when she sustained an injury to her left hand. This inspired her to develop groundbreaking performance methods using multi-media.

She continues to develop and perform new works.
