A founding member of the “hip & unstuffy” Ensemble San Francisco, Mr. Kim maintains a strong connection with the community through outreach and is deeply dedicated to his teaching; this season, he joins the faculty at Interlochen Center for the Arts. His master classes are described as “captivating, hilarious… relevant to not only musicians, resonating with all walks of life.” Mr. Kim plays a Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume cello made in 1845, as well as a 2016 Haide Lin. His bow was made in 1904 by Jules Fetique à Paris.
