Jooan Kim
Music has been a driving force in his life from the very moment that Jooan Kim first discovered the trumpet at the age of ten.
After studying at the Soongui Primary School and at the Centre for Gifted Pupils at the Teaching Faculty of the Korean National University, he entered the Yewon School. He became the first ever and the youngest player of a brass instrument to be accepted to the Korea National Institute for the Gifted in Arts. He has further perfected his unique artistic expression under the tutelage of Professor Dmitri Lokalenkov and internationally renowned maestros such as Sergei Nakarjakov. After a successful recital as part of the Kumho Young Artist Recital in March 2026, he has continued to bring joy to audiences around the world via his polished trumpet.
