Hi, I’m MiHyeon Kim. I’m a Korean composer and pianist based in Dubai with a passion for creating, arranging, and performing across orchestral, choral, and chamber settings. I studied composition at Daegu Catholic University of Music and have built my career through teaching, orchestration, and collaborative projects with universities, schools, and community ensembles. I currently work on chamber music arrangements for the Dubai Korean Church, cantata arrangements for choirs, and I accompany karitas teams. I enjoy mentoring emerging musicians and partnering with ensembles to bring musical ideas to life.
