Ji Young Kim is a music scholar, performer, and educator specializing in German culture of the late 18th and 19th centuries. She is currently Associate Lecturer at The Australian National University’s School of Music, where she teaches musicology, piano, and chamber music, and co-directs the ANU Keyboard Institute, the southern hemisphere’s largest collection of keyboards spanning the 18th century to the present. Prior to moving to Australia, she was Adjunct Lecturer of musicology at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music.
Ji Young began her music studies in her hometown of Santiago, Chile, and continued in New York, where she studied piano performance at Manhattan School of Music; and musicology, music theory, German history, philosophy, and literature at Columbia University. She will soon defend her PhD in musicology from Cornell University with a thesis advised by James Webster that explores aspects of embodiment in the piano works of Robert Schumann and Brahms. Her research has been funded by the Cornell Institute for European Studies and Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst and presented at numerous institutions and conferences. Most recently, her dissertation was awarded the 2018 Karl Geiringer Scholarship from the American Brahms Society and she is an invited speaker at the Clara Schumann Hauptsymposium in the 2019 meeting of the Gesellschaft für Musikforschung.
In addition to her academic studies, at Cornell Ji Young delved into historical keyboards with Malcolm Bilson. As a performer, she strives for sensitive and vivid renditions of 18th- and 19th-century music informed by historical contexts and instruments, analytical insight, and careful programming. She has performed at the Boston Early Music, Bloomington Early Music, and Valley of the Moon music festivals, and has collaborated in chamber settings towards bridging between historical and modern instruments and styles. Notable projects include a recontextualization of Robert Schumann’s late works (a body of repertoire she is especially passionate about) with the Formosa Quartet, and an ongoing partnership with violinist Jessica Park from the Cramer Quartet.
