Born in 2003 in South Korea, Doomin Kim started to play the piano at the age of seven and soon got a great passion for music. Initially willing to become a composer, he decided, however, at the age of ten, to study seriously piano which gave him a great joy while playing and moved to Italy to study in Imola under Marlies Van Gent at the age of twelve.
A year later, in 2016, after being inspired by the musicianship of Michael Wladkowski, Doomin Kim decided to move to Paris and became his pupil from 2016 to 2024 at the prestigious École Normale de Musique de Paris. He obtained the Superior Diploma of Chamber music in 2019 with professor Chantal De Buchy and in 2022, the Artist Diploma with professor Michael Wladkowski. In 2019, his first solo album ‘Mendelssohn:Piano works’ was released by Warner Classics, which he recorded in 2017, in 38 countries.
The album is reviewed by major music platforms such as Gramophone, France Musique, and also rewarded by Apple Music as ’10 classical albums of the month’. And in the same year, he participated to the ‘Beethoven Complete Works 250th Anniversary Edition‘ by Warner Classics with following recordings: ‘Rare piano solo works’ and ‘Complete 4 hands works’ Doomin Kim had masterclass with numerous world-class musicians such as Peter Lang, Peter Ovtcharov, Anne Queffélec, Ronan O’Hora, Konstantin Semilakovs, Pascal Rogé, Fraçoise Thinat, Phillipe Bianconi, Gordon Fergus-Thompson, Kevin Kenner, Michal Tal and Aquiles Delle Vigne.
