Most recently, a symphonic suite I wrote was featured in Redmoon Theater's 2009 production of "Last Of My Species."
As a composer, Charles Kim has been commissioned by such diverse orgsnizations as England's Royal College of Art, Showtime, Chicago's Redmoon Theater, and the Zephyr Dance Company. Most recently, he has joined Mayfair Workshop, a commercial scoring company whose clients include Target, Mc Donalds and Volkswagon. He also records produces and records other musical artists. Common to all his compositions is a close, sympathetic working relationship with the director's thematic vision.
