Winners of the Beverly Hills National Auditions YuEun Kim and Ines Thomé met in 2013 when they both had just moved to the US, YuEun from Korea and Ines from Germany, serendipitously finding themselves as housemates in an old Victorian building in Los Angeles. Both studying at USC’s Thornton School of Music, they immediately connected through their love of chamber music and good Korean food. Since then, they have been sharing numerous stages in Southern California and exciting their audiences with their charisma and virtuosity. Both musicians are winners of multiple solo competitions for their instruments and experienced chamber musicians who have performed around the world and were invited to international music festivals. Their program ‘Cinematic Scenes’ features music from the Classic to popular themes and Argentinian tango, showcasing the versatility of their instruments. Concerts with the Yu&I duo are energizing and relaxing, they are traditional and break boundaries.
