Earl Kim

Earl Kim

Earl Kim (1920-1998) was a Korean-American composer.

Kim was born in Dinuba, California, to immigrant Korean parents. He began piano studies at age ten and soon developed an interest in composition, studying in Los Angeles and Berkeley with, among others, Arnold Schoenberg, Ernest Bloch, and Roger Sessions. After serving in World War II as a combat intelligence officer, he accepted a teaching position at Princeton in 1952. In 1967 he left Princeton for Harvard University, where he taught until his retirement in 1990. He is known for his vocal and music theatre works, many of which use texts by Samuel Beckett, and for his expressive, often tonal style.

His students include Peter Maxwell Davies, John Adams, David Del Tredici, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, David Lewin, and John Thow.
