About Jake

Jake Shim gained international recognition most recently winning 1st Prize and Bach Prize at the 2020 Stulberg International String Competition in Michigan, United States. After winning a prize at the 2020 Irving M. Klein International String Competition in San Francisco, United States and at the 2020 J. S. Bach Competition, Jake won a ‘Isang Yun Prize’ at the 2024 Isang Yun International Violin Competition.

In the upcoming season, Jake will make his debut as a soloist with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra. He also gave debut performances on three different continents including venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Jordan Hall, Kumho Art Hall, Seoul Arts Center, The Musikverein in Vienna, and Alice Tully Hall.

He is currently an Artist Diploma candidate at the Curtis Institute of Music with a full scholarship and Tobe Amsterdam Fellowship studying with Ida Kavafian and Shmuel Ashkenasi. His former teachers include Donald Weilerstein at the New England Conservatory where he studied with a Tan Family Education Grant and Dean’s Scholarship.

He plays the 1711 D. Montagnana, on generous loan from the Sooyoung Art Trade in Korea.

As a violin teacher, I have gained expertise in tutoring students on violin technique, music theory, and sight-reading. Additionally, my experience has helped me evaluate student work and provide constructive feedback to help them improve. I have also developed audition preparation materials for my students, which enables them to perform exceptionally well in their auditions. These experiences have helped me develop the skills necessary to succeed as a violin teacher.

Examples of my students’ achievements include:

- got accepted to Juilliard, Curtis, NEC, Peabody and Seoul National University

- got a job in Symphony in C, Aspen Music Festival Orchestra, New York String Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, and Hankyung Philharmonic Orchestra

- got accepted to summer festivals including Kneisal Hall, Aspen Music Festival and School, and Perlman Music Program

- won international competitions including Leonid Kogan, Ysaye, Stradivarius, New York, and Grumiaux International Violin Competitions
