Concert pianist and international soloist Dominique Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea, where she grew up with her composer father and music-loving mother. At the age of 13, she was admitted to Yvonne Loriod's class at the Paris Conservatoire, graduating a few years later with several unanimous first prizes in piano, Ondes Martenot and chamber music. It was at this point that Dominique Kim began her international career as both a concert pianist and a renowned Ondist.  She has performed recitals and concertos in Europe, America and Asia, notably in Korea, where her reputation has led her to give annual masterclasses to students at music universities such as Kookmin University of Arts in Seoul. Recognised by Olivier Messiaen, with whom she worked at the Paris Conservatoire, she was the soloist in the world premiere of his ‘Saint-François d'Assise’ at the Paris Opera in 1983 and in 2000, during the World's Fair, she was invited to the Berlin Philharmonic as soloist in the Turangalîla Symphony conducted by Kent Nagano. A sought-after and beloved teacher, she was a professor at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Cergy-Pontoise for nearly twenty-five years, where she trained a large number of students who went on to become brilliant musicians, such as the French Delphine Armand and Alexandre Kanterow, among many others.
