   My first publicly released album, “A Dedicated Poem,” is a compilation of my live performances from 2002 – 2005. This album shares my passion for live performance, which I find to be the most dynamic and vibrant art form, with the listener. Live performance carries the highest levels of artistic expression and aura, and breathes with its audience. This album also holds immense importance to me as a “dedicated poem,” and is therefore dedicated to the two people who are most ineffably dear and precious to me, but are also worthy of the greatest respect and adoration. It is through the guidance and love of these people that I am now here, and in return, I offer them this poem through my harp. I dedicate this album to my wonderful father, who has been a living example of the caring and love I strive to emulate; and to my wise mother, a woman whose internal and external beauty emanates to all those around her. Above all, I give my utmost devotion and gratitude to God, who has blessed me with the ability to touch people and extend His kingdom through music.

With love,
Chaerin Kim
