About

Youmee Kim is the Assistant Professor of Piano at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. Born in Korea, she received degrees from Ewha Women’s University, Indiana University, and The Ohio State University in piano performance. She specializes in twentieth century American piano music, which has prompted her to release this album dedicated solely to that endeavor. Especially notable on this release is the inclusion of James Primosch’s five-movement work “Pure Contraption, Absolute Gift,” which is receiving here its world premiere recording. The work was commissioned by Youmee Kim and eleven other pianists. Works by Libby Larsen, Henry Cowell, and Benjamin Lees are also featured.
