Kimberly Lehmann, originally from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, received her Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from the University of Minnesota and her Master of Music in Violin Performance and Literature from the Eastman School of Music. Her principal teachers were Lea Foli, Harold Wippler, Catherine Tait and Camilla Wicks.
About 20 years ago, after receiving a beautiful viola that belonged to her husband Robert’s grandmother, Kim fell in love with the viola and gradually grew to prefer the deep, mellow sound and the wonderful chamber music writing for the instrument.
She is a member of the Portland Symphony Orchestra and has been a member of the South Dakota Symphony, the Colorado Springs Symphony and the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. She has performed with the Eastman Philharmonia in residence at the Heidelberg Schlossfestspiele, at the National Orchestral Institute, the Boston Academy of Music and Assisi (Italy) Performing Arts. She regularly performs with PORT Opera, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Portland Ballet, and ChoralArt and has appeared as guest violist with the DaPonte String Quartet and Venticordi. Kim, along with her husband Robert, has performed concerts in Mexico, Germany, France, Italy and Austria as the Lehmann Duo.
She has coached violin and viola sectionals and chamber music for the Longwood Symphony, Brandeis University, Wellesley College, the Greater Boston Youth Symphonies and the USM Youth Ensembles. She has adjudicated auditions for the New England Conservatory Youth Orchestras and for Maine District Festivals and has been a teaching artist for the Portland Symphony Explorers Program. Ms. Lehmann has also performed solo works with the Portland Chamber Orchestra, the North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra, the Salem Philharmonic and the Longy School of Music.
Kim is a member of the Portland Symphony Orchestra. She teaches violin and viola at the Portland Conservatory of Music and is Artist Faculty at the University of Southern Maine Osher School of Music.
