Jia Lim is a harpsichordist and musician whose work spans early music, contemporary projects, and theater. Based in Berlin, she combines a background in historical performance practice with an openness to cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Her formal studies began at the University of Michigan, where she studied Communication Studies, trumpet, and music theory. Introduced to early music during her time there, she went on to study harpsichord at the Universität der Künste in Berlin and completed a master’s degree in basso continuo at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, earning awards at the international Jurow Harpsichord Competition and the Berlin Bach Chamber Music Competition.
Her interest in historical performance has taken her as a soloist and chamber musician to several early music festivals in Europe and Asia. A sought-after répétiteur, she assisted regularly at various opera houses for Renaissance and Baroque productions.
With the ensemble Cité des Dames, she co-founded the concert series Sonus Feminae, supported by the Berlin Senate and the Lotto Foundation, which presents early music by women composers. With its warm reception the series will enter its third season in 2026. She is also part of the project Berlin wie es damals war, a brass quartet focusing on chamber music with original historical instruments from Germany.
Her recent interdisciplinary work includes theater performances at the Volksbühne Berlin (Vengapoise, Sisyphos) and at Theater Basel (Das Narrenschiff, Little Ice Age). Her interest in experimental approaches has also led to a collaboration with her colleague Miako Klein, combining early music and live electronics, culminating in an album to be released by Buzz / Challenge Records in 2026.
