Trombone
Dr. Gwang Kim currently serves as second trombone of the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. He is on faculty at Concordia University Irvine, Loyola Marymount University, Ventura College Schwab School of Music, Pasadena Conservatory of Music, and YOLA Torres, a program of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
As a performer, Gwang has appeared with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, New West Symphony, Seocho Philharmonic, and Daesan Philharmonic. He has performed at Coachella with 88 Rising artists and recorded for ABC's "The Fosters" and Netflix's "The Chef's Table."
Dr. Kim's research examines the role of the trombone as a musical embodiment of the presence of God (Coram Deo), exploring its contribution to aesthetic sublimity in Beethoven compositions.
