“Do-Hyun Kim is an extraordinarily gifted talent of the highest caliber. He has everything which makes a great artist.” -SERGEI BABAYAN

"Pianist Do-Hyun Kim is a young artist establishing himself for displaying incredible depth of artistry in a wide range of repertoire. After presenting him with a special prize for best performance in the Semi Final round of the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, Maestro Valery Gergiev personally invited him to return to St. Petersburg to perform on a special winners’ concert this season. In its coverage of the competition, Gramophone reported that Mr. Kim was a “widely admired” young artist, and his performances there also led Yamaha to invite him to appear at a “Rising Stars Pianists Concert” at Ginza Hall in Tokyo in 2020.

Winner of First Prize at the 2017 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, he was awarded special prizes at the Auditions: the Korean Concert Society Prize for a Kennedy Center debut and the Michaels Award of Young Concert Artists for sponsorship of a New York debut during the 2019-20 season; the Embassy Series Prize for a concert in Washington, DC; and the Tri-I Noon Recitals Prize at Rockefeller University for a concert in New York City. Mr. Kim has also received Paul A. Fish Memorial Prize, John Browning Memorial Prize, Ronald Asherson Prize of YCA, and a Young Concert Artists Fellowship sponsored by the Paiko Foundation.

Mr. Kim’s debuts in New York and Washington, DC on the Young Concert Artists Series this season feature a program of music he grew up listening to, culminating with Chopin's Op. 25 Etudes. Other 2019-20 season performances include the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 and Beethoven Fantasia for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra with the Albany (GA) Symphony, the Tchaikovsky Concerto No. 1 with the Greenville Symphony, and an engagement with the Jupiter Chamber Players in New York City. In addition, he is currently artist in residence at the Judson Manor in Cleveland.

Do-Hyun Kim performed in Russia’s famed Mariinsky Theatre at the 12th International Piano Festival in St. Petersburg, including recital repertoire and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Mariinsky Orchestra. He performed as a Fellow of the Gilmore Keyboard Festival with Kirill Gerstein, at the Verbier Festival in Switzerland, Honest Brook Music Festival, Bravo! Vail Music Festival and New York's Pianofest.

As winner of the Cleveland Institute of Music's Concerto Competition, Do-Hyun Kim performed the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Conservatory's Orchestra. He has also won First Prize at the Kukmin Daily Piano Competition in South Korea and Top Prize at the Vendome Piano Competition in Switzerland.

Originally from Korea, Mr. Kim moved to the United States to earn his Bachelor’s degree at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied with HaeSun Paik and Sergei Babayan. He continued his studies with Mr. Babayan at The Juilliard School, earning a Master’s in 2019, and heads back to the Cleveland Institute this year to pursue an Artist Diploma."
