"Sensitive, probing musicianship,." —MusicSources.com

JungHae Kim arrived in the United States as a teenager and winner of the 100th Anniversary Korean-American Musical Competition in Seoul, and has been a highly regarded solo and chamber performer both in the U.S. and around the world ever since. She holds a Bachelors Degree in harpsichord performance from the Peabody Conservatory of Music and a Masters Degree in historical performance in harpsichord from Oberlin Conservatory. It was at Amsterdam's Sweelinck Conservatorium that she earned an advanced degree in harpsichord performance and later studied with Gustav Leonhardt, whom she praises as much for his philosopy of music as she does his musicianship. ("His emphasis was never on technique, but on what was behind the music.")

Ms. Kim maintains an highly active international touring calender with numerous historical instrument ensembles including Southern California Chamber Orchestra, Pierce Baroque Dance Company, the Oberlin Baroque Orchestra, the Indiana Baroque Orchestra, the Los Angeles Baroque Orchestra, San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival Period Ensemble, Brandywine Baroque, Musica Angelica, and Music's ReCreation. She performed with American Baroque at the Library of congress in 2001 and has performed with her principal group, Mirable, in the 2002 Bloomington Early Music Festival as well as on both the 2003/2004 San Francisco Early Music Society and the San Jose Chamber Music Society series.

In 2006, Ms. Kim was awarded a grant by the Peninsula Council for the Arts to produce a recording of solo keyboard works and recently inaugurated the Brisbane Concert Series with a sold-out solo performance. In January 2005, she performed on tour in Hawaii and returned to solo with the San Francisco Symphony in a series of performances of Bach's Fifth Brandenburg Concerto. Upcoming engagements include solo and chamber music performances in the Bay Area and in San Diego, as well as in the 2005 Assisi Summer Festival in Italy.
