South Korean-born and raised in the UK, Min-Jin Kym began playing the violin at the age of six. A year later, she was accepted as a scholar at the Purcell School of Music on a full scholarship with the distinction of being the school’s youngest-ever pupil. Min-Jin Kym was also the youngest participant at the Schleswig Holstein Summer Music Festival, aged nine. At the age of eleven, she appeared on worldwide television, winning first prize at the Premier Mozart International Competition in Bologna, Italy. Making her international début at the age of thirteen in 1991 with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, Min-Jin Kym was immediately invited to perform with the Seville Symphony Orchestra in Spain and later that same year made her Korean début at the invitation of Kyung Wha Chung. At the age of sixteen she became the youngest student ever to be awarded a Foundation Scholarship at the Royal College of Music and went on to study with Ruggiero Ricci in Salzburg who commented about Min-Jin Kym that she was “…the most talented violinist I have ever worked with”.

JCL Artist Management is delighted to be working closely with Min-Jin at this exciting point in her international career.
