Born in South Korea, Bumjun Kim arrived in France at the age of seven months.
He began playing the cello when he was six and was admitted to the CNSM in Paris at the age of fifteen where he studied with Philippe Muller.
Later on, he shortly went to Leipzig before coming to Berlin for a second Master degree at the Hanns Eisler Musikhochschule and simultaneously, he managed to get a Doctorate Diploma in Paris.
As a former member of the Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, he also had the privilege of discovering the major symphonic repertoire with some of the most inspiring musicians and conductors of our time.
Passionate about chamber music, Bumjun Kim has always led an active life as a chamber musician. Senior member of the Seiji Ozawa International Academy in Switzerland, he founded the Trio Arnold in 2018, which is in residence at the Singer-Polignac Foundation in Paris.
In 2020, accompanied by the French label Mirare, the trio’s first recording with Beethoven's Opus 9 trios was rewarded with a Diapason d'Or and a Trophée Radio Classique.
Two new recordings are planned to be released during the coming season, a first one with works by Strauss such as ‘Metamorphosen’ with the label B.records, and a second one named ‘Hungarian Nights’ with the label Mirare, both with the Trio Arnold.
Since 2023, Bumjun Kim has been principal cellist at the Staatskapelle in Weimar, and is currently playing a French cello from 1916 by Sébastien-Auguste Deroux.
