This Friday evening, 2
November 2018, at 7:30 P.M., world-renowned concert violinist, dedicated educator,
and global music ambassador Midori Goto will perform the Brahms
Violin Concerto with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, conducted by
Music Director, José Luis Gomez.
Midori, who performed in Carnegie Hall with orchestra at the tender age of eleven, brings striking, penetrating musicality and dazzling technique to all repertoire she covers. Midori's riveting stage presence flows from an endless series of supple rotations, as whole body motions are applied to each note, arpeggio,
double-stop, and trill. Not only by virtuosity do her performances
thrill. The delicacy and power Midori draws from the 1734
Guarnerius del Gesu ex-Huberman violin she plays, belie her petite
physical stature. On stage, Midori appears as a soul subsumed in the music. The spirit is dancing and the awareness is sharp and open. Her performances, of such egoless
mastery, for three decades now, have mesmerized and transported audiences around the world, to
a higher plane and deeper understanding of music and of themselves.
And while concertizing has comprised the core of her musical universe since childhood, Midori's creative and communicative passions have driven her to explore and embrace a vast array of artistic, educational, and humanistic endeavors. She is a champion of contemporary composers and music, founding new music performance projects in Japan and the United States. She established 'Partners in Performance' to expand the reach of classical music into urban areas, and an 'Orchestra Residencies Program' to promote diversified education and careers for young musicians. The pursuit her own education led to degrees in gender studies and psychology from New York University (BA 2000, MA 2005), which she says strongly inform her holistic teaching philosophy: “In our studio, the tenets of Honesty, Health, and Dignity guide us through the times of trial, self-doubt, self-questioning, and growth.” Combined with the global reach of her international concert career, the success of these initiatives have led to a fully integrated, high profile career as an artist and activist, and as an advocate for peace and humanity.
