The “Alia Fantasia“ of Nicola Matteis Jr., performed on the baroque violin by Chloe Kim as part of the Voices of Music online concert series, June, 2021. Praised as a “rising superstar“ (The Georgia Straight), Canadian violinist Chloe Kim has performed as soloist and concertmaster in prominent concert venues around the world. The recipient of many prestigious awards including the 2020 Mercury-Juilliard Fellowship and the 2016 Early Music America Scholarship, Chloe was most recently nominated for Canada's distinguished Sylva Gelber Music Foundation Award. Chloe's most memorable engagements include a Vivaldi women's tour led by Monica Huggett, as well as recent trips to France for collaborations with William Christie and Les Arts Florissants. In the summer of 2019, Chloe performed across Scandinavia with Yale's Schola Cantorum and served as concertmaster of Juilliard415 for productions of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas in London's Holland Park and the Royal Opera in the Palace of Versailles. In 2020, with her European tour engagements cancelled due to the pandemic, Chloe pivoted to create, direct, and produce Victoria's hugely successful Music for the Pause series, presented with her beloved West Coast colleagues. Recent highlights include features in the CBC's 30 under 30 and the Juilliard Journal for her achievements. This season, Chloe is looking forward to solo appearances with Early Music Vancouver and Music on Main, San Francisco's Voices of Music, New York's Gotham Early Music Scene, as well as debuts at the Isabel Bader Centre and the National Arts Centre. She is especially indebted to her dear friends Elizabeth Blumenstock, Jeanne Lamon, Christina Mahler, and Heilwig von Königslöw. #Matteis #ChloeKim
