Lansin Lim Kimler, Pianist

 

Lansin Lim Kimler comes to Third by way of Singapore. Lansin has played piano since she was 7 and enjoys a variety of musical selections. In her graduate studies at Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville, she was a pupil of the storied teacher, Ruth Slenczynska, which accounts for the passion and precision of her playing for which Lansin is known. She served for some years as accompanist to the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus, and is now on the faculty of Parkway North High School.

Lansin celebrates life with her son, Elijah, 11 years old, who also worships at Third, and both of them enjoy hiking and camping. Lansin's favorite composers are Bach, Beethoven and Shostakovich, and she is a great admirer of Sasha Johnson Manning, who has written much music for Third.
