February 6, 1957: Jin-hi Kim, Inchon, South Korea
There is much to discover here: jinhikim.com; also some words about the 1990 competing festival, Victoriaville's Festival de Musique Actuelle

Jin Hi Kim, virtuoso komungo performer and composer, had been on the New Music Alliance Board (if I remember correctly; weirdly enough one of the things I haven’t been able to get is a full listing of all of the New Music Alliance boards through the years) but we would only get to see her in solo performance during the Montreal Musiques Actuelles festival in 1990.
I was lucky enough to capture a part of that concert at the Foufounes Électriques, where she was paired in a double concert, opening up with David Moss’s five voice acapella ensemble Direct Sound.
