"...to those working tirelessly to keep the art form thriving in the face of tremendous odds..."
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center announced that violinist Soovin Kim and pianist Gloria Chien have been named the recipients of the 2021 CMS Award for Extraordinary Service to Chamber Music. The award is to be presented on November 9 at Alice Tully Hall.
“Even during the deepest and darkest days of the pandemic, we knew that this award should go next to those who were working tirelessly to keep the art form thriving in the face of tremendous odds,”
- David Finckel and Wu Han, co-artistic directors of CMS.
“As the months wore on, Soovin and Gloria mounted project after project in multiple locations, from their home in Boston to their series in Chattanooga (String Theory at the Hunter) to Portland (Chamber Music Northwest) to Vermont (The Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival). As young artistic directors (and stellar performers) they have set an example not only as artists but citizens of the world, and for that, we should all be truly grateful.”
Congratulations Gloria and Soovin! We are truly grateful to have you in Chattanooga!
