Recognized for her "poignant lyricism, scope and bigness of her sound and expressive gestures," Cherry Kim
has performed in the US and internationally as a recitalist and chamber
musician. After five years of study and winning several competitions,
she gave her solo debut performing with the Plano Symphony Orchestra.
She has also performed as soloist with the Cathedral Bluffs Symphony
Orchestra and the Fall River Symphony. Other performance highlights
include the “Herr Beethoven & His Cellists” recital; Gioia Duo
performances; the New England premiere of Callender’s “Metamorphoses
for Cello and Electronics” for the Boston New Music Initiative;
recording the soundtrack for the Underground Railway Theater; and
Canadian radio broadcast performances with the Artists of the Royal
Conservatory Ensemble. Ms. Kim received degrees from the New England Conservatory (BM), Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music (PD), Rice University (MM), Longy School of Music of Bard College (GD), and Boston University (DMA). Her principal teachers were world-renowned cellists and pedagogues Laurence Lesser, Norman Fischer, Michael Reynolds, Terry King, and Bryan Epperson. She has performed in prestigious festivals such as the Tanglewood Music Festival, Park City International Music Festival, Orford Festival, and Westben Music Festival. Currently, Ms. Kim leads the CK Ensemble as cellist and artistic director, which aims to present compelling performances that fuse historical performance practices with fresh perspectives. Besides performing with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, Symphony New Hampshire, Atlantic Symphony Orchestra and many others, she maintains a strong private studio and teaches for the Maestro Musicians Academy and Brookline Public Schools. Another passion in visual arts has won her several prizes, and one work in particular was exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Art. You'll find more about Cherry Kim, the CK Ensemble, and listen to recordings on her website. |
Jacob Hiser is a versatile
pianist and violinist who performs and studies a variety of musical
traditions. He has performed for concerts, festivals, and workshops all
over the Midwest and New England, as well as France, Hungary, and
Germany. Originally from Missouri, where he graduated from Missouri
State University with a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies, he now lives
and works in Boston, having recently completed a master’s degree
program in Contemporary Improvisation at New England Conservatory.
During the summer, Jacob is a faculty member of two arts programs:
Missouri Fine Arts Academy (a three-week summer residential program for
highly motivated student artists in visual arts, theatre, dance,
creative writing, and music), and NextGeneration, a week-long
piano/strings camp in Joplin, MO for middle school and high school
students. He is currently adjunct piano faculty at University of
Massachusetts Lowell, an accompanist for Boston Children's Chorus and
New England Conservatory Preparatory School choirs, and also freelances
around the Boston area. Jacob doesn't appear to have a website per se, but he is certainly found on the web, for example at http://bostonvoyager.com/interview/meet-jacob-hiser-jacob-hiser-somerville/ |
