BENNY KIM, violin, has
performed on five continents in nearly twenty countries. As the
Washington Post observed, “Kim’s emotional depth and musical
carriage are his real drawing cards. His is a style that touches
the peak of romantic violin playing.” Benny Kim is a graduate of
the Juilliard School where he studied with Dorothy DeLay. He makes
his home just outside Kansas City where he is currently associate
professor of violin at the University of Missouri/Kansas City
Conservatory of Music. Mr. Kim plays a Stradivarius violin, dated
