Hyunji Kim

Born in South Korea, Hyunji Kim pursued her musical training in France and Germany after completing her initial studies in her native country.

She studied with András Schiff, Hortense Cartier-Bresson, and Hie-Yon Choi, and benefited from the guidance of Daniel Barenboim and Murray Perahia.

She has performed in prestigious venues such as the Philharmonie de Paris, the Edvard Grieg Museum in Bergen, and the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin. Invited to festivals such as the Festival de Colmar, Festspiele Bergen, and Musique à la Prée, she has also taken part in renowned academies such as the Gstaad Menuhin Academy and the Wilhelm Kempff Academy.

Her interest in historical instruments led her to further her work on the fortepiano.

Her Beethoven album, recorded on three different pianos (Walter, Graf, and a modern Steinway), was released in May 2025 on the Initiale label.
