Bridget Kibbey
Since her concerto debut with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, flutist Sooyun Kim has enjoyed a flourishing career performing with orchestras, including the Bavarian Radio Symphony, Munich Philharmonic, Munich Chamber Orchestra, and Boston Pops. She has appeared in recital in Budapest’s Liszt Hall, Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center, and the Louvre Museum in Paris. She is a winner of the Georg Solti Foundation Career Grant and ARD International Flute Competition. An alum of CMS’s Bowers Program, she studied at the New England Conservatory under the tutelage of Paula Robison. She is recently appointed Assistant Professor of Flute at University Cincinnati College-Conservatory and teaches summer courses at Orford Musique. Kim plays on a rare 18-karat gold flute made especially for her by Verne Q. Powell Flutes and has recorded for labels including ArtistLed, Naxos, Toccata Classics, and BR-Klassik. Her album Confluence was released to great acclaim in 2025 on the Musica Solis label.
Violist Paul Neubauer, hailed by the New York Times as a “master musician,” released two new albums in 2025 on First Hand Records, featuring the final works of two great composers: an all-Bartók album including the revised version of the Viola Concerto, and a Shostakovich recording that includes the monumental Viola Sonata. Appointed principal violist of the New York Philharmonic at the age of 21, Neubauer has appeared as soloist with the New York, Los Angeles, and Helsinki Philharmonics; the Chicago, National, St. Louis, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco, and Bournemouth Symphonies; and the Santa Cecilia, English Chamber, and Beethovenhalle Orchestras. He has premiered viola concertos by Bartók (revised version), Friedman, Glière, Jacob, Kernis, Lazarof, Müller-Siemens, Ott, Penderecki, Picker, Suter, and Tower. A two-time Grammy nominee, Neubauer is artistic director of the Mostly Music series in New Jersey and serves on the faculties of the Juilliard School and Mannes College.
Harpist Bridget Kibbey is known for her great musical instincts that transcend her instrument. According to the New York Times, “she makes it seem as though her instrument had been waiting all its life to explode with the energetic figures and colors she was getting from it.” 2024–25 highlights include concerto debuts with the Baltimore Symphony and Richmond Symphony, and features at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, the Helicon Foundation, and Chamber Music City. Kibbey collaborates with notable artists including Kathleen Battle, Dawn Upshaw, Avi Avital, and the Dover and Calidore String Quartets, while touring her own productions crossing French masterworks, Baroque transcriptions, and global music alongside today’s top Latin Jazz artists. Kibbey has recorded for Pentatone, Deutsche Grammophon, and SONY Records. She is a recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Premiere Prix at the Journées de les Harpes Compétition, and a Salon de Virtuosi SONY Recording Grant. She is an alum of CMS’s Bowers Program.
Recorded live in the Daniel and Joanna S. Rose Studio on March 8, 2012.
