#b#Plainsboro’s Kim Named as Director#/b#
Steve Kim of Plainsboro has been appointed director of the Princeton Girlchoir Ensemble. Kim is also the director of worship at Princeton Presbyterian Church, and interim choral director and teacher of music at Stuart Country Day School. Kim is also the music director at Princeton Presbyterian Church, and artistic director of Arts at Meadow Road — an organization launching this year.
A graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, he received a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in choral conducting from Westminster Choir College, where he was the co-conductor of the Westminster Mastersingers. He had also served as the graduate assistant in choral conducting for two years. During the past three years his choral compositions have been premiered by organizations including the North Carolina High School Honors Chorus, Westminster Choir, and Chanticleer. Last season he worked with the Princeton Girlchoir as accompanist for Grace Notes.
“It is a pleasure to welcome Steve Kim to the conducting staff,” says Lynnel Joy Jenkins, the artistic director of Princeton Girlchoir. “He is known among the Princeton Girlchoir community because he has served as accompanist in recent years. I am thrilled that his association with the Princeton Girlchoir will continue in his newest roles as associate conductor. He brings extensive experience in choral music and education which will serve our choristers well.”
