Jonah Kim is an artist of great charisma and originality. Kim’s beauty of tone is immediately distinguishable by its signature sweetness. He invites the listener in with “the cosy warmth of a well-loved cashmere sweater," (Gramophone) then “dives into the music with courage underpinned by formidable technical prowess, with which he achieves a dazzling performance.” (All About the Arts) He is artist-in-residence at the Barclay Theater and San Luis Obispo's Festival Mozaic.
“With his pulsating vibrato and intense expressivity, Kim asserts the cello’s eloquent personality throughout the varied atmospheres.”
- D. ROSENBERG, GRAMOPHONE
“Moving and musically satisfying performance... Kim’s full-bodied, rounded cello sound is ideal... lyricism and the energy and passion of his playing carry the listener along.”
- J. BANKS, THE STRAD
“He flirted with the line, shaped it, wrapped it around his fingers, pulled it out in a new dimension, all with practiced ease"

NEW! SEYFRIED "Dancing in the Eye of the Storm" LIVE PREMIERE 2023

Dancing in the Eye of the Storm (2022) [World Premiere]
by SHERIDAN SEYFRIED (b.1984) @SheridanSeyfried
Sheridan and I met in front of the registrar's office at Curtis where we were both enrolled as fellows back in 2002 or so. We immediately got into some kind of friendly argument; we soon found ourselves spending most of our days together. His music and mine have grown together for decades now, and I hope you can sense our friendship in our music making, Dominic included! This piece is so incredibly fun to play, and beats CrossFit in terms of caloric expenditure. Sheet music is available for purchase directly from the composer ( sheridanseyfried.com )
Notes from the composer:
The “eye”, or center, of a hurricane is characterized by relatively calm conditions-clear skies and light winds. Surrounding this area, however, is the “eyewall”-the most volatile and dangerous part of a storm-where a colossal barrier is formed on all sides by severe thunderstorms and devastating winds.
The opening dance-like melody in the cello is blues-inflected, dark, and groovy. It is immediately answered by a sustained, song-like idea. The piano echoes each of these ideas in its own way. Though there is no denying the rhythmic fun of this music, there is also a subtle sense of instability.
Rumbles of thunder and far-away lightning flashes appear. But we keep dancing. A new, playful melody, based on a fragment of the opening, emerges but quickly turns into an obsession. But nothing is too serious; danger is averted for the moment. Impassioned melodic outbursts emerge in the cello and are answered by the piano.
After a reprise of the opening material, the playful idea returns once more, but a darker path is taken. Storm clouds close in; the eyewall is suddenly upon us, thrashing us with wind and rain. Our dancing becomes increasingly frenzied, rising higher and higher-totally surrounded, we are trying to fly above the storm.

You are far too kind. Thank you so much and all the best to you.
Increíble 👏👏
Gracias🙏🙏
7:33 나를 흔들던 불안 ,고뇌, 휘몰아치던 내적갈등이 해소되어지는 느낌입니다..길고 어두운 터널을 지나온 ,,,
감사합니다 🤗🤗
Thanks for those tips. May I ask What helps you have a good awareness of the positions?
Scales and arpeggios definitely help organize the positions in the mind for me. I also like to practice double stops within each hand position to remind myself how the intervals feel within each position. Hope that helps!
So clean and gorgeous and full of soul. This helped me to cry when I really needed it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for your note. Whatever you may be going through, I wish you the best!
my goodness, how good you are.🥰 I'm a cellist, I'm also curious about your position on the chair, the cello with the very extended tip. I'll try it too maybe it will help my sore right shoulder
Thank you so much. Yes, my sitting posture helps keep my back straight and shoulders low and ready to adjust- hope your shoulder pain goes away!
貴方を知れて良かった。
Thank you!
Even Johan Sebastian would be stunned!
You are too kind, thank you.
Ohromující nádhera!♥
Thank you so much!
Heavenly!
Thank you!
The best performance of all I have ever heard of Chaconne. I'm always returning to this again and again. Thank you so much for your performance and to Bach for sure for this piece!
Thank you for enjoying it!
what a legend
You’re too kind. Thank you!
4:43
Thank you.
You are a freaking legend!!! Your hands are made of steel!
Thanks so much!
Angelic
Thank you!
What a beautiful version of the Chaconne - I've never heard it played with cello! Absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoy it!
ruined for me by the stupid needless masks that doesn't protect anyone from anything. Particularly hilarious on the face of a lone dancer outside on her own.
We did not love wearing masks while performing - in San Francisco at the time, we could not even enter the park without masks. Glad those days are past us.
Awesome! An excellent video!
Thank you!
Thank you! I somehow love cello better than violin.
Cello is really a wonderful instrument although I am always envious of violinists and pianists for their repertoire!
do you know where we could find this sheet music?
Hi! Yes, my transcription is for sale, please give me your email address and I can send you a link.
Thank you for sharing this. Your video inspired me to practice double stops in a new today
That’s wonderful! Happy practice!
A great interpretation, doesn't get better, played in the spirit of Bach's tragic loss of his first wife Maria Barbara.
Thank you for listening!
Such an eloquent and dramatic performance of the Chaconne, Jonah. Yet sustaining the sense of religiosity, so adequate to those times of Covid. I also love the wonderful ballet dancer. Congratulations!
Thank you for listening!
4:50 might be the most breathtaking and beautiful thing I’ve ever heard this inspires me to keep practicing and master the cello ❤❤❤
I agree, that variation is breathtaking. Thank you for listening!
This was very helpful. Wish there were more clips on bowarm.
Glad you found it helpful. More to come!
Thank u!
My pleasure!
Whats that funky looking thing on your bridge?
Practice mute
Pretty kewl !!!❤
Thank you and happy practice!
Incredibile. Un suono incredibile. Bravissimo 💖
Grazie!
Your performance is alive in itself, and you played the best Beethoven Sonata to the point where my jaw dropped. Look at the bowing. It's truly neat and produces a solid sound, whether used sparingly or extensively. This piece is the pinnacle of art and music. I respect you.
Thank you so much, and for commenting on things I really strive for!
This is truly the best!! Wow, it's shocking and amazing.
Thank you so much 🙏
@@JonahCello Your bowing is neat and clean. Every day, I find solace in this song, and your performance is the best, as are all the other pieces you play. You are truly a master. I am grateful for your performance and also thank God for giving us musicians like you.
Thank you for listening and your kind comments. I’m so glad you enjoy it!
Mr Kim owns this piece, and I am trying to imagine Bach's face when he sees his masterpiece on the cello and with a.....mask. He probably will think that he breathes behind the mask some psychedelic stuff that makes him play better and he will wonder where to get this.
Thanks so much! That mask definitely did not make things easier😆
This is beyond words... Thank you so much
Thank you for enjoying!
The ending!!!!!
I hope it’s to your liking!
This performance (probably unedited) is epic on so many levels..
Thank you so much, Phil. Means a lot to me.
Yoooooo. I can't believe I'm only finding this now 🥲 such a fantastic performance-LOOK AT ALL THE VIRTUOSITY!! Beautiful tone, voices were so clear, love the little personal embellishments here and there (final chord made my jaw drop 😱). Congratulations!!! I'm so floored by this. Thank you so much for sharing this. What a gift 🙇🏻♂️
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoy it!
I'm back here again and again and still same émotion, beauty and energy. Thanks for this
Thank you so much. Your enjoyment means everything!
The deep resonance of the cello adds so much maturity and richness to this war horse of a piece. It's joyous, heart-breaking and hopeful, and you bring out every colour - it's sublime.
You are so kind. Thank you for enjoying!
This is one of the ensemble's best. The two string players are both excellent, and the entire trio is very unified on this particular composition which is very well composed. Are the string players brothers? I assume they are Koreans, and Korean musicians tend to be very exceptional.
Thank you so much. We worked very hard on this and love this piece very much. Dennis and I are brothers in music, though not by blood!
Wow
🙏
This sounds like life.
Thank you!
Great work, fantastic performance.
It was incredibly challenging to prepare and equally rewarding now that you enjoy it, thank you!
do you have a transcription? this sounds so good
Thanks! I’m happy to share the pdf with you
I can't thumb it up every time I listen, so I'll have to leave comments instead. Thank you.
Thanks for this and best to you!!!
Thank you for sharing this Jonah. I too agree that the Chaconne is the greatest piece and the way you play and pour everything you have into this is truly amazing. As a violinist, I haven't been exploring diverse interpretations of my repetoire but you inspired me too. The fact that I can listen to this for free however much I want is a blessing. I wish you the best,
Thank you for your comment, I’m so glad you enjoy it!
This is an amazing performance!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant , I love the energy and clarity in your performance.
Clarity is something I really strive for always, thank you for commenting on it!!
Gran interpretacion!
Gracias!
Just watched your performance at the Harker concert series. You were COOKIN. BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE FROM A BRILLIANT CELLIST!!!
Thank you so much. Our friends, Julia and I all had a wonderful day at Harker!
What a very serious and honest way to play cello! Amazing chaconne! I hope I can find you playing the suites. It's a crime if you didn't record them.
Thank you so much. I have recorded them and they are streaming but the last suites are offline as I am redoing them first. Will be sure to keep you posted on this channel!
Genialna interpretacja. ♥
Thank you so much!
