[Canceled] Midori, violin

Midori has enthusiastically set the stage for thrilling performances and thoughtful, innovative programs that build connections between art and the human experience. In addition to one of the busiest solo careers, she is an activist, "traveling from one end of the world to the other, sharing her conviction in the energizing and binding power of music." (SF Classical Voice). To see her perform in the intimacy of the Herbst Theatre is an exceptional experience. Midori is a visionary artist, activist and educator whose unique career has transcended traditional boundaries through her relentless drive to explore and build connections between music and the human experience. Never at rest, Midori brings the same dynamic innovation and expressive insight that has made her a prominent concert violinist to her other roles as a noted global cultural ambassador and a dedicated music educator. A leading concert violinist for over 35 years, Midori regularly transfixes audiences around the world, bringing together graceful precision and intimate expression that allows the listening public to not just hear music but to be personally moved by it. She has performed with, among many others, the London, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco Symphony Orchestras, the Berlin, Vienna, New York, Los Angeles, St. Petersburg and Czech Philharmonics, the Sinfonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. She has collaborated with such outstanding musicians as Claudio Abbado, Leonard Bernstein, Emanuel Ax, Zubin Mehta, Seiji Ozawa, Christoph Eschenbach, Mariss Jansons, Paavo Jarvi, Antonello Manacorda, Constantinos Carydis, Omer Meir Wellber, Yo-Yo Ma, Susanna Malkki, and Menahem Pressler. The evenings' program is still to be announced.
