New Zealand pianist Somi Kim specializes in collaborative music making. She made a decision while studying at the Royal Academy in London that working with other musicians would be her focus. She’s about to make her debut with NZTrio in the midst of a full schedule playing for international competitions, master classes and at summer schools from her base in London.
