Award-winning classical Pianist Jeeyoon Kim returns to Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall on June 7, 2023 at 8PM with her new performance project 시음 /si-úm/ (pronounced shee-oom). 

The project is part of an album of the same title; its name is a blend of the words poetry and music in Korean. Jeeyoon debuted 시음 /si-úm/ in San Diego, and the Carnegie Hall performance is part of a 30-city tour across the United States this season.

About the program, Jeeyoon says: “As a pianist, one of my most rewarding moments is when I feel that I am deeply connected with listeners in the very moment of sharing music. My mission is to create a bridge between audiences and me as a performer, so they get to have a chance to discover the magic of music. I can’t think of a better way of spending my life. To me, music is poetic and poetry is music to my ear.” 

In search of that special connection between music and words, Jeeyoon collaborated with established poets and writers for this project, including South Korea’s Tae-joo Na, the former world champion surfer and author Shaun Tomson, the president of Poetry & Art San Diego Michael Klam, and Rudy Francisco. Additionally, an extensive program booklet will include black and white photographs by Allen T. Brown that pair with the program and poems.
