Praised by the Calgary Herald as "lively, ebullient, and spikily accentuated performance...", pianist Yerin Kim is an avid chamber musician and recitalist. She has given concerts in various festivals and recitals in major venues
internationally, including The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Carnegie Hall in New York, Place Flagey in Brussels and the Rolston Hall at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada. Her performances have been broadcast by the Klara Continuo radio station in Belgium, the NPR program Performance Today, WUFT Classic in Florida, and the PBC broadcasting station in Seoul, Korea.
Partnering with her husband and violinist, Brendan Shea as the Shea-Kim Duo, they have been invited to perform in festivals and concerts across North America, Europe and Asia. As a regular lecturer and guest artist, Kim performs and gives talks on promoting awareness of the power of music in the community that it serves. Committed to
bringing inspiring concert programs and classical music experience at its highest level to diverse audiences nationally and internationally, Yerin Kim recently joined the Artist roster of Music in Familiar Spaces with the the aim of reaching out to new audiences through innovative
and accessible concerts.
The blueprint for this recording project was inspired when studying Psychology and Piano performance during her undergraduate studies in Oberlin College. She was initially interested in contrasting styles within a composer’s works and how it should be understood and performed. The end result was a broader spectrum of understanding
Schumann and Schnittke’s music and humanity.
