Poignant lyricism, expressive depth, and a life devoted to music.

“Poignant lyricism, scope and bigness of her sound and expressive gestures.”

01 / About

A life shaped by sound, curiosity, and connection.

Classical roots.
Open horizons.

Cherry Kim is a Boston-based cellist whose work spans solo performance, chamber music, orchestral playing, and historical performance practice. Acclaimed for her “poignant lyricism” and “expressive gestures” by The Boston Musical Intelligencer, she brings curiosity, depth, and a distinctive musical voice to repertoire from the Baroque to the present.

She has appeared as soloist with the Plano Symphony Orchestra, Cathedral Bluffs Symphony Orchestra, and Fall River Symphony, and has performed on stages including Tanglewood, Jordan Hall, Boston Symphony Hall, Toronto’s Four Seasons Centre, Houston’s Wortham Theater Center, and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
