Concertmaster Doosook Kim Celebrates 20 years with The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra

On April 30, 2016, the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra (SDSO) will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Concertmaster Doosook Kim. Kim will perform Beethoven's Violin Concerto on the first half, and the South Dakota Symphony Chorus will join the orchestra in the second half for Beethoven's Mass in C.

"Doosook Kim is an invaluable asset to the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, to the Sioux Falls community, to the state of South Dakota and the region," said Delta David Gier, music director of the SDSO. "She has tirelessly given of herself as a musician and teacher for 20 years, enriching the lives of thousands. It is an honor to celebrate her impact on the community with a performance of Beethoven's masterpiece."

In the second half of the concert, the South Dakota Symphony Chorus will perform Beethoven's glorious Mass in C with the orchestra. The South Dakota Symphony Chorus, under the direction of Dr. James Johnson, is comprised of over 100 volunteers throughout the Sioux Falls community.
