Violinist Kangwon Lee Kim, Madison Bach Musicians Concertmaster and Assistant Artistic Director, is a versatile violinist with a repertoire ranging from the 17th to the 21st century using both baroque and modern violins. Praised for her “stylistic confidence,” she has performed throughout the US as well as in Korea, Canada, Puerto Rico, Switzerland, Norway, and the Czech Republic and collaborated with world-renowned musicians including Menahem Pressler and Laurence Lesser. As a baroque violinist, Ms. Kim has performed with numerous early music ensembles including the Smithsonian Chamber Players, Brandywine Baroque, Indy Baroque, and Lyra Baroque orchestras and given lectures at universities throughout the US and Korea.

As a winner of the Artists International, pianist Li-shan Hung made her New York recital debut at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall in 2003 to great acclaim, which led to a return in 2005. Her performance of Cesar Franck’s Prelude, Chorale, and Fugue was cited as “perhaps the finest performance of this piece I’ve ever heard” by Timothy Gilligan in the New York Concert Review. An active soloist and a chamber musician, she has appeared internationally in such venues as Salle Gaveau in Paris, Cultural Center in Munich, Rachmaninoff Hall in Moscow, Shriver Hall Concert Series in Baltimore, Orpheus Classical Music Series in Chicago, Steinway Society of the Bay Area Recital Series in San Jose, Sejong Cultural Arts Center in Seoul, Korea, and National Concert Hall in Taipei, Taiwan.
