About MusicArt
Founded in London in 2015 by Hong Kong-born Canadian pianist Annie Yim, MusicArt is a concept for creating and collaborating across art forms with music at the heart of each project. New works in visual arts, poetry, contemporary dance, and music have been commissioned and premiered at major art galleries and concert halls in London, Berlin, Salzburg, and Vancouver. Through new di
alogues and performance installations, each artist-led project aims to explore shared aesthetics in unique historical and contemporary contexts. About Annie Yim
