UC College-Conservatory of Music Dean Pete Jutras has announced the appointment of Sooyun Kim as CCM's new Assistant Professor of Flute. Her faculty appointment officially begins on Aug. 15, 2025. Described by the French newspaper Libération as “a rare virtuoso of the flute,” Kim has earned distinction as one of the rare flute soloists on today’s classical music scene. She made her concerto debut at age 10 with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and has since appeared with renowned ensembles including the Bavarian Radio Symphony, Munich Philharmonic, Munich Chamber, Boston Pops and KBS Symphony Orchestras. Her recital engagements have taken her to prestigious venues such as Budapest’s Liszt Hall, the Kennedy Center, Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy, Kobe’s Bunka Hall and the Seoul Arts Center. Her European debut recital at the Louvre Museum was broadcast live on medici.tv.
