Recent review :
"This would be the moment to celebrate the arrival of the Symphony’s newest member, the South Korean flutist Yubeen Kim, who lost no time filling listeners’ hearts with visions of the splendors to come. Kim’s tone is almost unimaginably rich — robust at its heart, full of shimmery colors in the periphery — and he deploys it with arresting eloquence."

Interview to Yubeen Kim

How did you begin in music?

My father is a contrabassist in an orchestra in Korea, so I was really friendly and close to music. I could listen to music easily and went to the concerts that he was playing. And I also liked very much the music myself.
My parents suggested me to learn the piano and the violin when I was around 6 years old. I liked so much playing piano that I learned it for a long time.
When I was around 9 years old, I followed my mother to the flute lessons, that she went as a hobby. Those moments made me become a flutist. I loved the flute since then.

When did you start playing?

I started playing the flute when I was 10 years old.
Actually I started playing the piano before playing the flute.
Why did you choose to play the flute?
My mother was playing the flute as a hobby, and I was following her lessons.
So I listened to her playing and then I also wanted to play the flute.
Because the charm of the flute caught my interest. And then I started learning the flute.
Who are your greatest inspirations?
First my parents, I can't do anything without my parents.
And French Composers. When I listen to the French music, It makes me feel better, especially Claude Debussy.
And all of my teachers.
