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:
“That vast moth-eaten musical brocade
Created to pretend we never die ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
