Meet Dr Annie Yim, the LSO performer and London College of Music lecturer using music to address mental health
Intro
Dr Annie Yim, course leader and lecturer for BMus (Hons) Music Performance at London College of Music, is working on several upcoming performances as well as receiving seed-funding for a spoken word mental health project.
Article body
Annie will be performing with innovative Chinese ensemble, Tangram, on Saturday 27 January at LSO St Luke’s, Barbican. The concert is entitled Nature Echo, which is a journey navigating the fragile and often destructive relationship between humans and the environment.
This immersive concert of recently written musical works is a powerful reflection on the global issue of climate change,”
says Annie.
Annie, who is a Hong Kong-born Canadian concert pianist, is also the founder of MusicArt, an initiative to create original multi-disciplinary artist-led performance projects.
I am interested in how other art forms such as literature and visual art inspire, or are inspired by, music and how to bring them together in a coherent way,”
she explains.
Annie recently had UWL’s Knowledge Exchange Seed Fund 2024 confirmed for her ‘The Well Gardened Mind Music Project’. The initiative will address mental health through the combination of nature sounds and spoken word with performance:
The seed for the project started to grow during the pandemic when I was in Canada and volunteered to work on an urban farm growing vegetables. Then when I came back to the UK, I got funding from Arts Council England to do some nature sound recordings in different locations.”
Annie found further inspiration in the celebrated book The Well Gardened Mind by Dr Sue Stuart-Smith, a renowned psychiatrist and psychotherapist and an avid gardener.
The multi-disciplinary work will feature a new composition by British composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad and will include passages from the book read by Dr Stuart-Smith herself. The world premiere will take place at the Presteigne Festival in Wales in August 2024. As part of the project, Annie will create a workshop for UWL students on combining sound art and live performance.
Annie will also appear with her ensemble The Minerva Piano Trio at LCM’s Lunchtime Concert at 1pm on Wednesday 7 February in UWL’s Vestry Hall.
I love performing classical repertoire as much as contemporary and multidisciplinary music. At the Vestry Hall concert, we will play works by Stravinsky and Mendelssohn,”
says Annie.
