Hyo-young Kim
As a prominent professional SaengHwang performer from Korea, Hyo-young Kim has received the spotlight for the revival of this Korean traditional instrument through her creative musical pieces.
Along with being a talented performer of this instrument with various mysteriously appealing sounds, she is also a composer of music that is not merely confined to the boundaries of traditional music and instead is constantly being highly recognized for her constant effort in establishing the Saenghwang’s new place in Modern Classic Music. Since 2006, she has performed with a diverse range of Korean traditional and Western orchestras. She won the Women New’s 2013 Rising Female Artist Award as well as the 2015 KBS Gugak (Korean traditional music) Award in the wind instrument category. 
She is currently working as a guest professor at the graduate music school of arts in Sookmyung Women’s University.
