The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra has today announced the appointment of 24 year old Korean-American violinist Eunice Kim to the ensemble.

A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with respected pedagogue Ida Kavafian, Eunice is a former 1st prize winner at the Astral National Auditions.

“After playing a fantastic audition last February, we invited her to play three trial weeks in the spring … [and] she simply blew our musicians and the audience away,” Artistic Director Kyu-Young Kim has told The Violin Channel.

The announcement, bringing the ensemble’s permanent musician count to 22 out of the 28 designation positions, comes just two weeks after 26 year old VC Young Artist Francisco Fullana was announced as the ensemble’s new Principal Violinist.
