Michael Jinsoo Lim – Past Concerts
Violinist Michael Jinsoo Lim has been praised by Gramophone for playing with "delicious abandon," and hailed by the Los Angeles Times as a "conspicuously accomplished champion of contemporary music." Concertmaster and solo violinist for the internationally acclaimed Pacific Northwest Ballet, Lim is featured as soloist with the company in concertos by Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Bach, and others, and has toured with PNB to Paris and New York City. Lim is violinist and co-founder of the Seattle-based ensemble Frequency and was co-founder of the award-winning Corigliano Quartet, with whom he appeared on over a dozen albums. The quartet's Naxos label CD was honored as one of The New Yorker's Ten Best Classical Recordings of the Year. His discography can be found on Naxos, Planet M, Sono Luminus, DreamWorks, Albany, Bridge, CRI, Bayer Records, RIAX, and New Focus. Lim has served on the faculty of the Banff Centre, taught at Indiana University as a guest professor, and currently serves on the faculty of Cornish College of the Arts.
