A truly extraordinary artist, pianist Ji-Yong Kim has both an awe-inspiring technique and a musical depth well beyond his 17 years. Following his 2006 debut at Chicago's Orchestra Hall, the Chicago Tribune raved, calling Ji-Yong "a thorough musician [with] a sound and style that seemed astonishingly mature . . . a gifted, sensitive young pianist who is clearly going places."

On February 3rd, at 1:30pm, students at Wilson Elementary will be treated to a special performance by this amazing young man in our own auditorium. A special "thank you" to everyone at Oklahoma City Community College who helped make this possible!
