Ji Young Kim (a.k.a. Silvana) is a music scholar, performer, and educator specializing in musical cultures of the late 18th and 19th centuries. She is currently Lecturer at Cornell University, where she coaches chamber music and works at the newly-established Center for Historical Keyboards. She has previously held lectureships at The Australian National University and Indiana University–Bloomington.
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. Her PhD dissertation from Cornell explored aspects of embodiment as interpersonal communication in the piano compositions of Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms; it received the Karl Geiringer Scholarship from the American Brahms Society in 2018. In addition to her academic pursuits, she delved into historical keyboards with Malcolm Bilson while at Cornell. 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.
