ABOUT

Kimberly Hope is an accomplished and professional violinist, music teacher and composer from Kauai, Hawaii.  Because her expressive and dynamic playing touches the hearts of countless audiences, she has been invited to perform at events all over Hawaii, such as concerts, fashion shows, county fairs, benefits, and fundraisers.  In addition to these larger events, she enjoys entertaining at weddings, art walks, farmer’s markets, shopping malls, schools, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing homes.  She has also performed alongside Grammy-nominated and Na Hoku Hanohano award-winning Hawaiian bands, Broadway stars, world-renowned pianists, and local Hawaiian slack key legends.

​

Kimberly began playing the violin at the age of ten in St. Louis, Missouri.  Upon moving to Kauai in 2008, she continued playing in several orchestras and small chamber ensembles throughout high school.  After graduating in 2013, she attended The College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio.  There, she served as concertmaster of the Wooster Symphony Orchestra and received her Bachelor of Music Degree in Violin Performance. 

​

Since then, she has created her own music business, “Kimberly Hope Music LLC,” in an effort to help music thrive on the island of Kauai.  She enjoys teaching private music lessons to inspire young students to learn musical instruments.  In addition to her private teaching practice, she has gained teaching experience at after school music programs, violin workshops, and various schools on Kauai and Molokai.  

​

Kimberly’s music videos and collaborations with musicians all over the world have gained considerable support on social media.  She believes that music is a universal language that can help heal and bring people together, so she is presently working on a debut album of original works.  Her long-term goal is to be a full-time traveling musician/teacher and make as many people happy through music as possible.
