Musical Career
This initial interest led to extensive work in cross-cultural performance and improvisation, which has remained a consistent imperative in her work. She has performed and recorded with musicians from Senegal, Australia, India, Japan, Tuva, Vietnam, Korea, China, and many other nations, often with her cross-cultural ensemble No World Improvisations. Plunged into the American avant-garde music scene, she was invited to the Composer-to-Composer festival in Telluride, Colorado in 1989 and joined the one week residency with John Cage and selected leading composers.
She has also improvised with Henry Kaiser, Elliott Sharp, Bill Frisell, Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Joseph Celli, Malcolm Goldstein, Eugene Chadbourne, Oliver Lake, Pointless Orchestra, William Parker, James Newton, Reggie Workman, Mark Dresser, Joëlle Léandre, Jane Ira Bloom, Hans Reichel, Rüdiger Carl, and many other prominent figures in new music and avant-garde jazz.
Kim has performed throughout the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe, South America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Russia.
In 2001 she was awarded a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, in the music/sound category.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or career:
“Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
