KYUNGMI NAM
"Music is what matters,
and of that she offers ample proof of mastery"
- Zenon Fishbein
"Highly sophisticated understanding
of tone color."
"Her Debussy's L'Isle Joyeuse...
a scintillating performance"
- Peter Vinograde
"Miss Nam invited her audience with lively, vibrant sound and a wide palette of dynamics and colors.
...with an awareness of detail in the orchestra score and a clear sense of compositional structure.
Ms. Nam demonstrated a great deal of freedom in cadenzas, elegantly leading into the tutti sections which continued the now almost flirtatious discourse between the piano and orchestra. An operatic approach to the coda concluded the pianist's very successful performance."
