Young Voices

Praised for her “rich sound [and] excellent rhythmic drive” (violinist.com), young violin virtuoso Audrey Park currently studies at the Juilliard School under Mr. Hyo Kang, with additional instruction from Linda Rose, Almita Vamos, and Cho-Liang Lin.

Julianne Jimenez is a recent graduate from Westmont College, from which she received a Bachelor of Music degree in Harp Performance. She started her studies with Alison Bjorkedal and Paul Baker, furthered her performance work at Westmont under Marcia Dickstein, and participated in masterclasses with noted harpists such as Remy van Kesteren, Judy Loman, Elizabeth Hainan, and the late Susan Allen.

Award-winning South Korean violinist Yu Eun Gemma Kim moved to the United States in 2013 to attend the University of Southern California where she studied with Midori Goto; she concertizes internationally as soloist and chamber musician in a wide variety of repertoire on modern and Baroque instruments.

Less than two years ago, the Pacoima Elementary School had no instrumental instruction programs. Since then, it has grown from 15 students performing on instruments donated by the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra to over 100 students.

The Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra’s current home venue, where it has been the orchestra-in-residence since 2014, the Théâtre Raymond Kabbaz opened in June 2000. It is a tribute to the passion and ambition of Raymond Kabbaz, President and Founder of Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles, who dedicated the last three years of his life to the creation of the Theatre.
