Praised for possessing “admirable purity of tone and accuracy” (James Oestreich, The New York Times) and hailed as a “miracle” (Harris Goldsmith, New York Concert Review), James Kim has performed concerti with orchestras such as the Boston Symphony and Royal Philharmonic, working with conductors David Zinman, Michael Sanderling, Alexander Shelley, Keith Lockhart, Tan Dun, and others, making appearances at Stern Auditorium, Zankel Hall, and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and at Symphony Hall and Jordan Hall in Boston.

The Hugh Hodgson School of Music announces James Kim as the new Assistant Professor of Cello. Kim will begin this teaching as UGA begins the 2024-25 academic year. Kim will take over for Professor of Cello David Starkweather, who is retiring at the end of spring academic year after 41 years at the University of Georgia.
