KOREAN CHAMBER ENSEMBLE Korean Chamber Ensemble
The Korean Chamber Ensemble, founded in 1965 in Seoul by cellist Bong-Cho Jeon, quickly
became a leading chamber group in the country. Since 1979, when Min Kim became
its new director, the ensemble has been establishing a growing international
reputation by embarking on numerous international tours to increasing critical
and popular acclaim. It has given over 450 concerts in Korea, the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Croatia, Poland, Denmark, Finland, Japan, Hang Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, China, and Singapore. Its nine-city tour of
the United States and Canada in 1995, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the
group's inception, received outstanding reviews from such prestigious
publications as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington
Post, and the Toronto Star. In 2000, the group successfully
performed in a special concert at the United Nations General Assembly Hall
where it was designated as a United Nations Chamber Orchestra. In 2001, it went
on its third European tour that included a concert, a first for a Korean
artistic group, in the Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonie, home of
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. The critics praised the ensemble as a
first-class orchestra with resilient tonal colours and precise ensemble work.
In addition, the group has released 12 CDs, encompassing a wide range of
repertoire, which have established a new standard of excellence in the field of
classical music in Korea.
In 2005 the Korean Chamber Ensemble celebrates its 40th anniversary.
