Valerie Kim, a native of California, made her professional debut playing a piano concerto at the age of 10 with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, just before moving to New York City to study both violin and piano at The Juilliard School’s Pre-College Division as a Starling Foundation scholar. She is continuing her studies at Juilliard in the Bachelor of Music degree program under the tutelage of Itzhak Perlman and Li Lin as a proud recipient of a Kovner Fellowship.
When she was 12, Valerie was selected to attend the Perlman Music Program (PMP) with whom she has since had the opportunity to perform in California, Florida, Israel, and New York. She has been heard in performances at the 2015 Starling DeLay Symposium, on NPR’s From the Top (Show 307), and as a piano and violin concerto soloist with the Civic Youth Orchestra, the New City Sinfonia, the San Diego Young Artist Symphony, and the San Diego Youth Symphony, and has concertized at the La Jolla Music Society and Ventura Music Festival.
When she is not on stage or in the practice room, Valerie dabbles in photography and poetry. She also values spending time outdoors and cooking with her family and friends.
