Bomsori KIM
“This violinist is ready for anything: with virtuosity, presence, clarity and a warm, rich tone, Bomsori is adept at making each moment her own” -Crescendo Magazine
In February 2021, Bomsori signed in Berlin the exclusive contract with the Deutsche Grammophon label.
Bomsori’s upcoming 2023/24 season is packed with exciting highlights, including her debut performances at the BBC Proms with the BBC Philharmonic and at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. She will also be on tour with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zürich and Paavo Järvi and will make debuts with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Santtu-Matias Rouvali, the Pittsburgh Symphony and James Gaffigan, and the Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España and Krzysztof Urbanski. Furthermore, Bomsori will make her Concertgebouw debut with the Residentie Orkest, Vienna Konzerthaus debut with Vienna Symphony and Ha-na Chang and return to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and the Singapore Symphony. She will also embark on tours with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in Asia and the Festival Strings Lucerne in Germany, where she will make her debut at the Elbphilharmonie.
Looking back at her 2022/23 season, Bomsori had many highlights as well. She toured with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and Lahav Shani, performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko, and debuted with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra and the Gulbenkian Orchestra. Bomsori also returned to perform with the Danish National Symphony under the direction of Fabio Luisi and the San Francisco Symphony in a recital. She made appearances in Germany with the Basel Chamber Orchestra in Stuttgart and Freiburg, as well as with the Bavarian Radio Chamber Orchestra in Munich.
In 2022 Bomsori performed Bruch’s Concerto No.1 at the “Concerts in the Parks” in New York and at Bravo! Vail Festival with the New York Philharmonic and Jaap van Zweden.
Bomsori was the Focus Artist of the Rheingau Musik Festival 2021 and in the same year began a 5-year residency at the Gstaad Menuhin Festival as Menuhin’s Heritage Artist.
