Listen to the Steiner pipe organ, played by organist John Courter.
Praised by concertgoers as an artist who "stretches the limits of the instrument," concert organist Yun Kyong Kim is passionate about bringing musically diverse programs to her audiences and is in great demand as an organ and harpsichord recitalist. Reviewers have described her as "a splendid keyboard soloist" (Dayton Daily News) and that she "plays with great sensitivity and with great élan" (The Diapason).
Yun was born in Korea and moved to the United States at the age of sixteen. After early organ study with Carole Terry at the University of Washington, she received her doctoral degree in organ performance with minors in early music and music theory in 2005 from Indiana University at Bloomington, where her principal teachers were Christopher Young and Elisabeth Wright. She has also studied and performed in North Germany and France, and made her French debut in Paris at Sainte-Clotilde in 1997.
Dr. Kim was awarded First Prize at the 1993 Northwest Regional Competition for Young Organists, and was Third Prize winner at the 2000 National Young Artists Competition in Organ Performance at the AGO National Convention in Seattle. Recent engagements have included solo performances at Washington National Cathedral, performing arts series at Ohio University and Miami University, and as a featured recitalist at two National Conventions of the Organ Historical Society.
She is a past Dean of the Dayton Chapter of the AGO, and has served on the faculty of the Pipe Organ Encounter at Ohio University and has chaired the Dayton Church Music Workshop. She is presently on the music faculty at Sinclair Community College and serves as organist and choirmaster at Christ Episcopal Church in Dayton, Ohio.
