YuEun Kim and Ines Thomé met in 2013 when they both had just moved to the US, YuEun from South Korea and Ines from Germany, serendipitously finding themselves as housemates in an old Victorian building in Los Angeles. They immediately connected through their love of chamber music and good Korean food. As winners of multiple solo competitions for their respective instruments, in addition to their award-winning work as a duo in Yu&I, YuEun and Ines couple exceptional musicianship with boundless charisma and virtuosity.
