Eunrae Kim, age 11, started piano lessons at the age of 7 and won her first piano competition a year later at the Performance Arts Festival of the Eastside. That same year, she won a Silver Medal at the Chopin Foundation of the United States Piano Competition, and by age 10, she won Gold. As a King-FM Young Artist Competition entrant in 2018, she was selected to perform a piano solo at the 2018 Ten Grands concert at Benaroya Hall. She also won the Steinway Competition Bronze Medal. At the 2018 Russian Chamber Music Foundation competition, Eunrae was the first pianist to win Gold Medal in three different categories, and in 2019, she was invited to perform and play for the Seattle Symphony as a finalist of their talent search competition. To date, Eunrae has garnered over 51 competition medals and is now enjoying public performing with upcoming concerts at Benaroya hall, King-FM, and various symphony orchestras. Eunrae also loves chamber music and performs trios regularly with her two older brothers who play violin and cello. Eunrae is currently a 6th grader at King’s School.
William Johnson, age 14, studies cello with Dr. Leslie Marckx, and has distinguished himself in several competitions, including the Seattle Young Artists Music Festival as a concerto finalist, the Performing Arts Festival of the Eastside as a concerto winner, and Interlochen Center for the Arts for their Honor’s Recital. Currently a member of the Seattle Youth Symphony, William has served as Principal/Solo cellist in the Seattle Youth Symphony’s Summer Music program and was selected as a member of the Junior All‐State Orchestra. In addition to his summers studying with Hans Jørgen Jensen at Meadowmount School of Music, in previous summers he has studied with Alison Wells at Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival and Jeffrey Lastrapes at Interlochen Center for the Arts. William also enjoys composing: his works for cello have won several awards, including a national prize. In addition, William is an honor student and a member of the National Junior Honor Society.
David Trueblood began playing trombone in 3rd grade, and hasn't stopped since. Under the direction of his high school band directors, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Tanksley, he has played in bands, orchestras, jazz ensembles, and musicals. He is thrilled to now perform the Rimsky-Korsakov Trombone Concerto. David would like to thank his parents, his friends at Reed College, and his wonderful partner Lee.
