The opening Allegro from Vivaldi's Concerto in G Minor, YuEun Gemma Kim, soloist. Live, 8K video from the award winning Voices of Music concert, December 2022. The first concerto in Vivaldi's Opus 12 (1729), Shinichi Suzuki arranged the piece for Suzuki Violin School, Volume 5. This concerto is here presented for the first time in 8K video on period instruments.
Originally from South Korea, violin virtuoso YuEun Gemma Kim (김유은) began playing piano at age five and violin at age seven, although she most enjoyed singing Korean and American pop songs from the 80s with her father. She also played organ at 6 am every Wednesday for church services.
YuEun moved to the United States in 2013 to study at the University of Southern California with violinist Midori Goto. In competitions, YuEun won first place in USC’s Solo Bach Competition and the Strings Concerto Competition, and she was a semifinalist at the Qingdao International Violin Competition (China), the Michael Hill International Violin Competition (New Zealand) and the Buenos Aires International Competition.
YuEun is a core member of Delirium Musicum, a self-conducted chamber orchestra based in Los Angeles. During the pandemic, Delirium Musicum created MusiKaravan that took YuEun and Artistic Director Etienne Gara on the road in a vintage Volkswagen bus to perform socially-distanced concerts for farm workers, winemakers, random passersby, and even the occasional ostrich. MusiKaravan won the Audience Choice Award of the San Francisco Classical Voice for "Best Streaming Series." Highlights of this musical journey may be found on the "MusiKaravan" YouTube Channel. As a member of Delirium Musicum, she recently took part in the debut album for the Warner Classics label.
Her Chopin Nocturne video on her YouTube channel has over 19 million views, and the funniest moment in her performing career was when she noticed Itzhak Perlman was in the audience: she couldn’t manage her page turns for her music and ended up playing the whole Haydn string quartet by heart.
