Violinist David Kim was named Concertmaster of The Philadelphia Orchestra in 1999. Born in Illinois, he started playing the violin at the age of three, and began studies with the famed pedagogue Dorothy DeLay at the age of eight. David Kim takes center stage on Wednesday, August 19, as both leader and soloist in a performance celebrating SPAC’s 60th anniversary theme, Seasons, with the Four Seasons of Vivaldi, Astor Piazzolla's Four Seasons of Buenos Aires and favorites from Bach and Mozart. We spoke with him about the program and the experience of summer at SPAC.

Rob Brown comes from a musical family. His mother played piano and taught in this area for nearly 30 years. One uncle is a composer and brass player, one aunt is a professional accompanist and recitalist. And his grandfather had a record collection to rival WMHT’s. He started at WMHT as an intern in 1996. His first job was to go through the stacks of vinyl to make sure they were filed properly. He’s now the Music Director and is thrilled to continue in the “family business” and share more of our very favorite classical music from 1-4 every weekday and 11-3 on Sundays.
