Meet classical violinist David Kim. A child prodigy since the age of six, David fiercely trained to be a world-class violinist under his mother's intense supervision. In this first installment of NAYA, David graciously invites us to his home and the music hall where we explore his passion for music and the journey that led him to become the concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra.

As a Korean-American living in Philadelphia, I appreciate his constant presence as the first chair violinist at Philadelphia Orchestra
Magnificent!!
I’ve met and chatted with him a couple of years ago. Just a humble but charismatic man. Absolute a treasure for Philly!
Great video! And also great of him to acknowledge that his accomplishments wouldn’t have happened w/o the three women he highlighted - his mother for implanting/nurturing his skill, his teacher for giving him direction after his mother passed, and w/o his wife supporting him until he found his way to best use his skill. Looking forward to more in the 나야 series!
Exceptional film, of an exceptional man. Thank you for making and sharing it.
What a story.
So proud of you!
I appreciate your honest talk about your life. Enjoyed watching. Sorry that your Mom passed away so soon suddenly but it's impressive she said the good health is best more than anything else.
Wonderful short and a great life.
keren banget ! matur suksma
Great story and unfortunately didn’t get the break you deserved! It’s just how it was and sometimes still to this day. Glad you have a great family and that is the best success we can achieve in life. I have to add that hair cut you had back in the day looked all too familiar!! I also had the bowl cut #3 thanks to Mom. “Close your eyes” she would say in Korean and then clip, clip. 😂
A Korean who’s not good a math. Tell me it’s not so 😂
SO TOUCHED...
Listening to the playing makes me confused.
He is great and certainly can play at a concert
violinist level. Why is he not up there with
Perlman, Zukerman, etc.? Why? In fact there
are violinists not as good who get more notice.
Why? Is it politics?
Probably race😂
Plenty of Asian soloists out there. Midori, YoYo, Lang Lang, and many younger ones today.
@@johnalexander301 of course it doesn't mean Asians have no chance at all. Just wondering if at that time having had the same recognition as a Caucasian, things might be somewhat different.
@@YangLiViolin the most famous violinists you can name are often not Caucausian, so who is it that's getting recognition?
Whites literally invented classical music, wrote the great pieces, invented the instruments of the orchestra and invented the musical notation system. Asians playing is cultural appropriation.
Heifetz, Menuhin, Stern, Milstein, Perlman, Zukerman, Bell, Vengerov etc.
Connect the dots. Midori, Sarah Chang, etc. only while children to make
money off of. Where are they now. Politics! Students are even put down
for playing the Beethoven violin concerto only on a $5,000 instrument.
Sounds familiar?
