Jayden Kim is a violinist from the Bay Area, studying under the guidance of Dr. Oh Sae Won. Since his youth, Jayden has always had a unique liking for all forms of music developed from childhood lessons in jazz and classical piano. Influenced by the musicians in his family, Jayden began violin with an already keen interest in classical music.
This dedication towards performance and competition earned him an invitation as a soloist for the San Jose Youth Symphony, accolades at the 2025 San Francisco International Innovative Music Competition, and 1st place in the Junior Violin category of the US International Open Music Competition. Jayden enjoys both the rigors that competition provides and the ephemeral colors of the music in its own right.
