Biography
Haeji Kim switched from violin to viola at age 16, falling in love with its mellow tones and unique voice. She enjoys playing in an orchestral setting, having participated in the New York String Orchestra Seminar in 2012 as a violinist and in 2014 as principal violist, and as soloist, having played with orchestras throughout her state of Michigan. Her passion for chamber music was fuelled by summers in residence at the Caramoor and Ravinia Festivals. Haeji studies at the Curtis Institute of Music with Roberto Díaz, Hsin-Yun Huang and Edward Gazouleas, and plays on a viola by Joseph Grubaugh and Sigrun Seifert on generous loan from the Virtu Foundation.
