ShinIk Hahm, a revolutionary, creative artist who brings new energy to the Korean music world, has founded the Symphony S.O.N.G in August 2014, which consists of young passionate musicians.

Masestro Hahm has worked with: Robert Schumann Orchestra in Germany, Avignon Orchestra in France, Gwangzhou Sympohony, Shanghai Symphony, Uruguay National Opera, and Proto Allegre in Brazil, being internationally acknowledged for his artistry and leadership. These orchestras who have worked with Maestro have also immediately re-invited him for other concerts.

Maestro was appointed as professor of Orchestral Conducting at the Yale University for 23 years (1995-2018). He was also appointed as the conductor of Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra (2001-2006) and of KBS Symphony (2010-2012).

The UK's The Financial Times praised Shinik Hahm and Dejeon Philharmonic's performance for having "definite dedication, passion, and great precision."

Shinik Hahm has a wide ranging repertoire and is adventurous when it comes to his selections. He is especially interested in contemporary composers, showing his passion to premiere their works.
It would be a mistake to limit Shinik Hahm to just a conductor. In Korea, he is also active as a left wing, corner kick and free kick specialist at the East Seoul FC. It would not be too hard to find him in a nearby soccer field playing soccer with his fellow musicians.
